Kristen Stewart was GREAT here


Her role is kinda basic but she really elevated it. She had good chemistry with Eisenberg even though the film doesn't present any reason why this pretty girl Phoebe would fall for Mike who's a loser and not even handsome, but you believe in her feelings thanks to her performance. It doesn't feel like it's the same actress who played the lifeless/charismaless Bella in Twilight.

Their acting is what makes the film worth it. They both gave genuine deep performances in this trash flick whick makes it work.

She was very natural and showed charisma, depth and range without overacting. I even kinda have a crush on Kristen as Phoebe now. People who say she's bad here just don't wanna admit the same actress they mocked for Twilight actually did a goob anywhere.
