In one of the DVD special features, she actually talks about why she wanted to do this movie. She liked the script, and as she said, she sees a lot of scripts. It's rare to find one as smart as this one, as funny and strange as this one, and even rarer that it gets made.
To me, it makes sense. Actors read a lot of scripts, most of them mediocre at best, and even more of them filled with cliches and predictable stories. When something a little different comes along that looks like it's getting made, then people who are in the business because they want to act (rather than be movie stars) tend to go for them.

Another good thoughtful response. (rare around here). If you're as good an actress as Anna Kendrick is, and she is, doing a movie just because it's odd is a good enough reason.
There are waaaaaay too many cookie cutter movies out there. Something different always gets my attention; I mean, I did watch this crap.
It just didn't make me laugh. Sorry about that.

Why on earth did you EVEN think it was a comedy?
Do you have a fetid turn for a brain?

Hi there liz,
Did you read any of the other posts? I didn't think it was a comedy, as I said in my original post "I didn't laugh once". Everybody else on here tells me how wrong I am for not getting it that it IS a comedy.
I think the emphasis in your first line should be on the word "think". Go back and read it again like this: Why on earth would you even THINK it was a comedy? See?
Also: In your second line I believe your looking for fetid "turd". I don't know what a fetid "turn" is but I don't know everything, as I didn't know "Voices" was was supposed to be funny.
