Like Louis would really go all out for Venna?!



In real life, someone as shockingly gorgeous would not likely go for bookish Venna!
Ah movies.

Yes, he would. As long as he thought he could get some.

how do you know she's "bookish" (I assume you mean nerdy)? and why wouldnt a nice guy like him (or most guys) go for her regardless?

most people on this site are so shallow. not everyone is obsessed with and only focused only looks/a certain look. They were childhood friends anyway and even though Venna is attractive he obviously got a crush on her growing up with her. It's not exactly an atypical situation.

if she looked like a sorority Barbie like Amber Heard or
whoever, you guys would be saying the exact opposite. "Oh RIGHT, like a stunning bombshell like that would be going for a geek like Lewis!"

I think the actress herself is OK, (her body is beautiful), but she's not that pretty face-wise. Her nose is huge, for one thing.
I'm not trying to be shallow here, I'm stating how she'd look in the film 'way' and to its characters!
Someone as gorgeous as Louis is not likely to be interested in nerdish Venna, sorry.

I agree with fiat.

I thought she was hot.

Yeah, actually he would...because he isn't a shallow moron. His character was a very nice, sweet guy, kind of like how Paul was in real life. And Paul Walker was actually attracted to shy, low-maintenance, and "nerdy" girls in real life so it would be hard to imagine him with another type anyways. There are actually many guys who are interested in "nerdy" girls, as Paul Walker showed in real life. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Just because you personally find someone attractive or unattractive it doesn't mean that everyone else feels the same.

She was a close friend of his, and it's implied that he had known her since they were little kids. So they obviously had a bond. She was actually very pretty too, it's not like she was even ugly or unattractive. Plus, like someone else said, if she had been more conventionally attractive (or whatever it is you happen to personally think is attractive)people would be saying why would such a stunning and gorgeous woman like her be interested in a such a "dorky", boy-next-door type of guy like Lewis is, unless he was rich or something like that.

Funny because his real-life girlfriend looked pretty similar to her
