Jesse Eisenberg's acting was awkward and took me out of the movie.


I really don't like his acting in this film.

He was just..... a weird person trying to be normal. He also delivered his lines too quickly throughout the movie.

I don't know, but his acting ruined this for me.

He was trying to act like Woody Allen, which the part was written for. And he actually did a pretty good job. Personally I don't like Allen's acting. But I think Jesse is a great actor. Yeah, kind of one dimensional, but I think he did a great job in this movie, as well as in, Zombieland, and now you see me 1, and 2.

I, on the other hand, thought that Eisenberg (along with Blake Lively, who had far too little screen time) was the best thing about this film.

I didn't rate him either. I found him intensely annoying and found it unbelievable that 2 beautiful women such as those played by Stewart and Lively would even give him a second look let alone have any romantic feelings for him in any way. He's the type of guy who wouldn't even get a dance at the school Prom!

I agree concerning Blake Lively. Their relationship seemed completely unrealistic and took me out of the movie.
