Career overachiever?

Let’s be honest when we first saw her in Superbad, did anyone think her career would turn out the way it did? She’s been possibly the most successful member of the cast.

Looking through her discography she’s been in several high profile films I forgot about. She’s won two Oscars, won Golden Globes along with other awards. Starred in and has been apart of several box office hits.

At first I didn’t understand the fascination and found her voice irritating but I guess it is what separates her from the others? I can’t be the only one whose surprised that she’s lasted this long.

She's just symbolic of the generally poor state of movies that we've been in for a while.

I mean, she has an average face, no body whatsoever, and little acting talent, yet she's successful because she stars in a lot of shit movies that lots of people go to watch because they have horrible taste. It's that simple.

Who exactly said this and what are they basing it off of?

I like Bill Hader.

I noticed her in Superbad, and I was with her till Crazy, Stupid, Love.

After that she is no longer the beautiful girl with aesthetic appeal.

I guess she turned herself into a character actress, but I haven't watched La La Land, so, was not sure how that went.

I don't know who is still watching her movies.

My first run in with her was actually SNL.

I thought she was really funny.

But to think, a decade or so later she'd turn out to be a two time Academy Award winning dramatic actress?

Not in a million years.
