Let me get this straight...


Jessica Biel plays a character who is supposed to be quite older than her new husband, "stealing his youth" per se...and yet, she is actually a year younger than Ben Barnes...

Hmm...

I don't like Jessica in this movie at all. I've liked her in other movies but, in my opinion, this role just doesn't fit her. She doesn't look, nor does she in any way behave, older than her husband. That was one of my biggest stumbling blocks to liking her in this role. Perhaps if they had actually bothered to make her look older than her husband, I could have liked her better in the role.

Suspension of belief.

Personally I found her acting quite wooden and I did not enjoy her scenes at all. It was almost like she was reading cue cards, that's how forced the dialog was.

She did good tho.

It's quite the hurdle...
