I briefly mentioned this the other day in the article about Emma Stone -
click here if you missed it. Duana and I have discussed this a few times lately: Emma Stone is what
Rachel McAdams was from 2004-2007. The Wall Street Journal had a lengthy piece on how Rachel was the most sought-after, the most talked-about, the most promising actress. And then... it just kinda... fizzled. She’s not Lindsay Lohan or anything. They just... they let the momentum slip away.
Poor choices, or poor management? A combination of both?
It’s so disappointing. Because Rachel McAdams has that rare thing - women love her (don’t you love her?? I love her so much) and she’s not SJP, men are attracted to her, in that way Steve Carell described in
Crazy, Stupid, Love: she’s so sexy and cute at the same. Also, she can act.
I don’t know what happened.
Morning Glory was... kind of a mess. And she was terrible in
Sherlock Holmes 1. I couldn’t enjoy her either in
Midnight In Paris, a film that’s on my Top 5 of 2011. She was the only weak link for me. Rachel? Yes, Rachel. Rachel who is one of my favourites.
This must change.
Will it be better this time for
Sherlock 2? Here she is at the premiere last night. She apparently only has a cameo. Will it improve in
The Vow? Oh la. I mean I know that a LOT of you will be seeing
The Vow and crying, like Sasha, so it’s clear what
The Vow will do for you. But what will
The Vow do for her?
What will it do for her that
The Notebook didn’t? (Gulp) Isn’t it like pressing reset?
Perhaps then the best hope is the Terrence Malick movie she shot earlier this year. The problem with a Malick movie is that he takes forever to put it out.
Tree of Life was 5 years. She needs to start closing some other projects. Some interesting projects. Projects that remind everyone why she was the best part of
The Family Stone which Duana reminded me of recently. She was GREAT in
The Family Stone. God I want her to be great again.
