Bad enough with his wife but he is casting his daughter who cannot act. Enough is enough people

Didn't he cast his older daughter in This is 40 too?

Both of his daughter were in This is 40 and they played the same characters from Knocked Up.

So what.

Learn the business. It's all about who you know. Been that way since the beginning.

I didn't realize that was his daughter. And I never thought "Wow, this person is awful" so it's really not a big deal. He's more than earned the right to cast whoever he wants in his projects.

Yeah, I noticed she wasn't very good... even for a child actor.

Hmm... I didn't think she was extraordinarily awful. Her acting fit in with the other performances, imho. But I do remember thinking: what a beautiful girl.... Not that Appatow's ugly, I was just surprised to read that he was her father here.

I liked her a lot! Thought she was really cute and funny and played the sullen pre-teenager really well.

That's it. People shouldn't blame the actor for what the character does.

I have to interact with adolescent teenagers every day, and she was spot on.
