[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if she hadn’t said anything about being MAGA, who would go see this movie? She might be a great actress but the only things she’s in always show her scantily clad at best.  No one goes to see Sydney Sweeney act.  This was a terrible casting choice from the jump.[/quote]

But I’ll go a step further: even with a different actress as the lead, this film was never going to be a commercial success.

The story just doesn’t interest most people. The trailer doesn’t interest most people.

I know Ruby Rose went off on Sweeney for ruining the film, but gimme a break…this film was never destined to be a big hit.

If you are Gen X, you realize this story lends itself to an old school movie of the week or lifetime movie: something free to watch if you are even just casually interested.

PS - I hope we can get back to a place where we don’t even know an actor’s politics. [/quote]

I agree that it wasn't destined to be a big hit, but I still think this was a miscasting.  Ruby Rose playing Christy could have created a bit of a cult LGBTQ angle, at least.  Sydney Sweeney is a bubbly big chested sexbot; giving her a chance at Oscar bait in a role that does not in any way play to her strengths felt more like a favor to her or her agent 
than a chance to boost the film.[/quote]

Ruby Rose was never up for the role of Christy. She was attached to the film in the role of Cherry a while ago before Sweeney got involved. Anyway, seems like sour grapes. [/quote]

You think she’s jealous she didn’t get to play a role in one of the worst box office performances in history?[/quote]

Um, yes.

Ruby Rose has said that the film flopped because Sweeney ruined it. She said it would have been better if another actress played the role. She went on to blast having a maga hetero in the role.

I think critics fail to recognize this film never had legs to begin with. The story was never going to draw a big audience.[/quote]
