I can't stand him. He ruined this film for me. Shia Labeouf would have been a better choice. Better actor. Can be dorky but also suave, and is also jewish. Way more range. I think he would have been perfect in this. And instead of Kristen Stewart I think Elizabeth Olsen.
shareI thought both of them fit their parts perfectly and their acting/chemistry made the movie better than it might have been with other actors.
shareI think the point of picking Eisenberg is that he was basically just doing a Woody Allen impersonation. Woody Allen used to star in all his movies, but I guess he finally realized that he looks like a creepy old dude now and stopped. Still if this movie is any indication, it seems he's still putting himself into the movies by way of surrogates. I can't really see Lebeuf doing as good a Woody Allen as Eisenberg did.
I'm so ugly...that's ok 'cause so are you.
