Well that film you never heard of exists, find it at amazon.com, it's a film from the 70's and at least that film didn't have any overacting kid actors.Wendy's Jane wrote:That's your opinion, I guess, but I felt that "Sisterhood" had fleshed-out characters and honest emotions. As for the film you mentioned, I've never even heard of it.
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

I admit I haven't seen Sisterhood yet but I have heard a lot of very good things about it, and I wouldn't say that "all" teen/tween actors are bad. Technically Christina Ricci was a teen actor (actress) at one point--and so were Kieran Culkin and Jessie Eisenberg (he was in Cursed but also The Squid and the Whale, the Emperor's Club and many others.) Plus Lindsey Lohan may be practically a headline now, but she DID do a very good job in Mean Girls.Whatever, tween, teen actors, whatever; they overact in any kids film especially this poor excuse for a chick flick.
Plus wasn't Amber Tamblyn one of the girls in the Ring? (2002) I always thought she did a great job. And Anna Paquin and Aaron Stanford (Rogue and Pyro) were very good in X-Men. (whoever played Bobby was O.K. I guess, but his character just wasn't all that interesting in the films, especially compared to the comics.)
Plus even though I don't think the Harry Potter films are the "greatest" films ever made, Rupert and Daniel are both quite talented. (hope no one holds it against me that I'm withholding that praise from Emma Watson.
)You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!
I'm talking about tween and teen actors in kids films or films aimed at teenagers like Mean Girls, Material Girls, Aquamarine and Sleepover including Sisterhood and my god those films are just a mess.ShyViolet wrote:I admit I haven't seen Sisterhood yet but I have heard a lot of very good things about it, and I wouldn't say that "all" teen/tween actors are bad.

Mean Girls was aimed at a pretty broad audience from what I remember, and was definetely not "a mess."Mean Girls,
Plus nowadays practically every film is aimed at teens--they're the demographic everyone wants to please. X-Men, Superman, Nacho Libre, Anchorman, Meet the Fockers were all aimed at a broad audience, but ultimately the filmmakers want the tweens/teens to see them, since they have the most buying power.
Films like Sleepover, Aquamarine, Drive Me Crazy, etc...(also I wouldn't include Sisterhood in that category) are relatively scarce and their real audience is more around 8-11. Most teens/tweens aren't big fans of them either.

I'm talking about kids films mostly, those kind of films are bad tell me something you like Materail Girls too? That movie is just bad, glad Snakes on a Plane ended up beating that Hilary Duff.ShyViolet wrote:Mean Girls was aimed at a pretty broad audience from what I remember, and was definetely not "a mess."Mean Girls,

Right, kid's films, like I said, about 8-11 years old. And there really aren't all that many of them, unless you watch the Disney channel. So really what do these films matter? Actors in those movies are mostly unknowns and have an extremely short half-life anway. I just see it as kid's stuff, like Barney or Olsen Twins movies.
I don't particularly "like" these kinds of films (although A Cinderella Story is fun in a stupid way) but kids do. So what? No one's forcing you to watch them, ya know.

Getting bored of asking you this.

It's not a reason to boot you, but I'm actually getting sick of repeating myself here. Get the picture?
