One surprise hit movie can still supercharge an actor’s trajectory

She is gorgeous and talented (I liked her in Euphoria a lot), but "Anyone But You" was her worst acting work and I'm still baffled at its success. The fact that such writing and her "Kristen Stewart in Twilight" acting did so well makes me lose faith in the future of romcoms.

people came for her acting but she did a great job in euphoria.

[iamkenough]

Yeah, she was great there. I wish she'd get like...a properly funny script, because this one was terrible so she didn't have much to work with anyway.

I said it before but there’s this moment in that horrible movie where she had a cute physical comedy moment and maybe she should capitalize on that being campy. I still need to see Winner though so maybe she’s a good lead?

The writing was the problem in Euphoria, not her acting. Levinson had no idea what to do with this woman except for crying and screaming boobily.

I think it’s just because there’s been such a drought of theatrically-released romcoms

[iamkenough]

You might be right, I don't remember what other romcoms were in theaters recently. That George Clooney/Julie Roberts one?

[spiral_mystik]

That movie was carried by Glen Powell's charisma ONLY.

[iamkenough]

Yup

Seriously; he deserved a second and third paycheck for that movie
