Emma Watson was beautiful in this.

When is she not, that's the real question

I never really understood the big time attraction, I thought Mae Whitman was more attractive but different strokes.

Right about the 'fairly good performance' bit though.

A good father and a good outlaw can't settle inside the same man.

her acting was cringeworthy

She is always gorgeous. Emma Watson has a somewhat plain look, but she is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen, in my opinion. I'd prefer her over an exotic model any day.

She's got that English rose thing going on (the posh middle class English girl) but not much of a actress sadly. Her accent goes in and out but it's probably her best performance from her. She's likeable (which isn't always the case with her, and I'm not talking about her real life persona either) and I like her friendship with Charlie in the film. It's definitely best thing she's been in outside of Harry Potter stuff.
