    I’d argue that it’s not really Zegler’s fault… Not that there’s anything special about her performance, but there isn’t really anything wrong with it, either.

    It’s an adaptation that never had to get made, doubled up with with weird changes for a nostalgia bomb, poor writing, forgettable songs, and mediocre acting. It’s less that it’s a bad movie and more that there’s just literally nothing good about it, either - it’s a solid 5/10 all the way down, in every category.

      What’s not her fault? The article isn’t about her performance in the film, it’s about the pushback and resulting pile-on from conservatives to her casting and public comments prior to release.

        Except all of the pushback is actually against casting/writing/changes, she simply answered questions honestly. I would argue that those who made the decisions are the source, not her relaying of them.
