Why are we hating on Addison for getting the role? The decision on whether or not she got the lead wasn’t even up to her so technically we have no right to complain about that, right? Also, there is no need to make a massive fuss over her acting. Can’t blame her for wanting to try something new :)

[@alexroberts3402]

@@SimpleToons206 ok but her being in a movie because of her popularity is nothing new in the movie industry. Many of the actors you see on tv and movies are products of nepotism (Emma Roberts, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Lily Collins, Zoe kravitz to name a few). At least Addison built a name through tiktok, so many actors were handed their roles because they come from famous families

[@darkwitch696]

@@alexroberts3402 at least they can act though and actually a lot of them actually went to school for acting and took lessons hard core. Nothing against Addison but her acting seemed so…. Don’t really have a proper word but kind of stiff, the emotions she was suppose to show was not fully there.

[@alexroberts3402]

@@darkwitch696 eh. That’s subjective. I actually thought both Emma and Lily (Emma especially) sucked at acting until very recently. I can’t comment on the acting school because idk much about it but I’m pretty sure not every actor went to acting school. Considering this was her first role, I really don’t think Addison’s acting was as bad as people say. Like sure it wasn’t amazing either, but I feel like people get so caught up in the fact that she’s a tiktok star that they forget that most of these cheesy teen Netflix movies have cringy acting. If she really sees acting as a career, I’m sure she’ll improve as her roles become more varied.

I love She's All That and He's All That did not disappoint me at all, i actually love it too. I wish people would take the stigma and all the negativity they have against Addison and actually appreciate her in this movie. She did a great job for her first movie and I'm proud of her!

[@pastrana21]

had no clue who this girl was. that being said. it was a terrible movie. horrible remake from the original classic. the acting from both her and him were really bad. she has the excuse that it was her first role. he doesn't. from cobra kai to that other series he kinda came out in, to this. you can see he doesn't act very well which is probably why he had such a small role in the 3rd season of cobra kai. literally all you little girls and boys that like him are because he is attractive and has a great body. that doesn't mean he is talented.

[@_tahira]

@@pastrana21 well love that's too bad and I can't argue with you for you're opinion but I said absolutely nothing about Tanner so your reference to "you little girls and boys" does not apply to me!

It's not bad for Addison's first movie acting. Just lack in emotions especially when she's sad or upset.(just my opinion though) Still I feel like somethings missing in this movie.
