I mean, I understand that they have to cast black actors now for diversity

But is there any particular reason to cast bad ones or ones that don't fit the role?.. 🙄

That babysitter couldn't act for sh*t, literally made me cringe every scene she was in, and the girl at school Alex supposedly had a crush on wasn't even pretty.

Ironically, though, his handler was black in the 2006 movie, but white now. 🤷‍♀️

I agree with you 100%. That babysitter or maid or whatever she was did a terrible american accent. I couldn't even pay attention to what she was saying...

And I didn't know there was a 2006 movie. Thanks for the tip.

Cheers, :)
