Look I love her as an actress, but judging from these clips it is a flat performance. There just isn't life to it. And I gave thought to your PEBKAC suggestion, because in all honestly I am losing my hearing and that can play a role, so I listened with headphones, still sounded flat to me. I showed it to a few other people and they had similar reactions. I am not saying you have to agree at all. Two people can see the same performance and it can come off completely different to each of them. I am just having a hard time engaging with her performance here. And maybe it is just in the larger context of the film, her performance makes more sense, I don;t know. I just struck me as not very promising from the trailer True, it would be. And I am not saying it has to be her. But someone a bit stronger for a lead (her, Angelica Houston, Julia Louis Dreyfss, Kristen Wig, Christina Applegate-though I think she retired). But I guess that is my point, this character isn't working for me. Now maybe that isn't a problem in the context of the full movie. But going by the trailer, for me it just didn't work</blockquote>
