What a terrible actress


Even for Lifetime and Hallmark

reply

Shut up. She's real talented

reply

Your screen name says so much about you, your asinine reply, and why no one should pay any attention to your opinion.

reply

Are you nuts? Danica is a fantastic actress.

reply

No, we're not nuts. We're being as real as you can get on this. Danica Mckellar may be a total brain when it comes to math, but her acting is AWFUL. She is one of the worst actresses on the Hallmark channel, with her contrived acting. It doesn't come off naturally for her, and it shows onscreen A LOT.

I signed up for this website JUST to agree with this.

Hahahahaha!

She always looks like she's ready to cry.

reply

luv that look.

reply

LOL that "look" totally matches Kristen Stewart, who though deliciously beautiful, looked like she was having a really bad case of diarrhea throughout the Twilight series. I overlooked it, because she's such a hottie. This could be the same "Halo effect" influencing user "KristenStewartForever" above.

reply

me too. Just caught one of her christmas movies on hallmark in may for some reason. she looked like her world was falling apart the whole time. delicious.

reply

i can't get enough of it

reply

I always called her The Girl on a Constant Period.

reply

PATHETIC.

reply

I have to (sadly) agree. I thought she was great in The Wonder Years, but the degree of difficulty in a kids show is decidedly less.

Much like Elizabeth McGovern in Downton Abbey, McKellar's acting is so bad it's actually distracting from the whole production. There are quite a few minor roles in Hallmark movies where the actors are pretty bad, but minor roles don't generally ruin a whole movie like McKellar does at the helm.

reply

The difference with child actors is also that they're probably more "coachable". That was also a sitcom that didn't require much range. "Just be cute", which was so easy for her, wow was she ever.

reply

It wasn't even a matter of acting in the early Wonder Years episodes she rarely said anything just seemed like the model posing for Fred Savage to gaga over.

reply

I was secretly Gaga-ing over her too! And wishing I had been her age.

reply

She seemed fine to me in 2013's "Tasmanian Devils."

reply

She's still collecting those residual checks while you post nasty comments about her on message boards.

reply

Apropos of nothing.

reply

Precisely.

reply

Wow, have to agree. She's just so bad in Hallmark movies. I've seen every Hallmark movie and watch the reruns but I skip those with her in it.

reply

I don't really care. She's so beautiful to look at.

reply

Bad taste.

reply

What about Kat Dennings?

reply

Surpassed by Amber Heard.

reply


I don't get the Kat Dennings thing at all. If she didn't have a rack, she'd be a nobody. She has a simian look to her and her voice is grating. This is a pretty good picture of her with her boyfriend though:
