Zooey Deschanel has brought her humor, charm, and vocal stylings to both the big and small screens. Now, there seems to be very little on the horizon for her. So why aren't we seeing more of one of Hollywood's most likable stars?share
Cuteness and quirkiness just isnt appealing, at a certain age.
shareAnyone's shtick gets old after a while. Will Smith is another one who comes to mind same thing every film no matter what the theme/genre.
Also as the other poster says, it was cute when she was younger but as you get older that cuteness just looks silly.
she did New Girl for 7 years and had 2 kids so a break is not that strange.

Zooey Deschanel's role in Her Highness marked a turning pointshare
In 2011, Zooey Deschanel played Belladonna in the stoner comedy, "Your Highness." The movie was directed by David Gordon Green and featured an all-star cast including Natalie Portman, James Franco, Justin Theroux, and Danny McBride (who co-wrote the script). Green told Den of Geek that while growing up, he was an avid fan of fantasy films such as "Conan the Destroyer," "The Sword and the Sorcerer," and "Beastmaster." Green stated he and McBride's intention was "to make one of those movies, put our stamp on it, and bring our sensibility to it, but work within the genre." The result was a royal mess, according to critics. "Your Highness" holds a 27% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The movie's box office tally was equally abysmal, garnering $28 million worldwide against a $50 million budget.
Famed critic Roger Ebert had this to say about Deschanel's performance, "She's brought onstage, quickly kidnapped by an evil sorcerer, spends a good deal of time as a captive in his lair, is rescued and lives happily ever after. She might as well be a mannequin, for all she's given to say and do. This intelligent, nuanced actress, standing there baffled. Used as a placeholder."

Zooey Deschanel chose not to fuck him and her career suffered for it. She sued her ex-manager at one point and some interesting information came out. Looks like we can add Naomi Watts to the list of people who fucked Weinstein:
"In another email, Melfi stated that Deschanel “said that this was the first script she’s received from UTA since she left the ‘alien spaceship place,'” a reference to Deschanel’s time at CAA, whose Century City headquarters is jocularly referred to as the “Death Star.” “She’s very excited after she read the St. Vin [script] to know she made the right choice.”
But Deschanel wasn’t cast. St. Vincent, a Weinstein Co. picture, would star Naomi Watts in a supporting role alongside Bill Murray and Melissa McCarthy.
The judge further discusses Deschanel’s concerns about her busy schedule before addressing that need to secure Harvey Weinstein’s blessing, a potentially explosive topic given allegations elsewhere of sexual misconduct against the movie mogul. The judge writes, “It also shows that factors outside of her, UTA, and cross-defendants’ control played a role, particularly, the unexplained absence of Weinstein’s approval.”"

Long bangs and a lot of eye shadow can be alluring when you’re 25. At 42, you just kind of look like a cat lady.
