I am watching
This Is 40
now, and I really wish there wasn't so much of her in the movie - her overacting is painful to watch There is no way she would ever have been cast if this weren't her father's movie.

I just think she had the disadvantage of playing something close to herself in her father's films.

She acts like a typical teenage girl. She did a fine job. She's just a kidlay off.

She was actually very good in This is 40. We were lol'ing through the whole movie. She played her role perfectly with the right amount of teenage angst.

That movie came out over two years ago, nothing happened for her since.
Obviously I was not the only one who thought that.

I think she was VERY GOOD in "This is 40". She was completely natural throughout the film. Her complaining about the "no WiFi" scene, her complaining about not having any clothes, and her breakdown in front of her parents when she discovered they went through her computer were all VERY 5b4well acted.
I think other directors should be calling her to work in their films.

I didn't like the movie. Also not impressed by her acting.

I thought her acting was the best thing in This Is 40.

Um first of all she's quite young and second, she did a great job! You're just jealous.
