I'm going to go on record right now to say that I did, in fact, really like "The Girl Next Door." Elisha Cuthbert is hot. I have a girl crush on her. And Hirschy had that whole "young boy ingenue" look going for him that was endearing because the movie was about the "unpopular average kid" who falls for the hot girl. True to teen movie form, even though he's not one of the jocks, the hot girl falls for him too.
But really, if Emile Hirsch keeps making that surprised face in every role he plays, he's going to get what every actor dreads most of all, TYPE CAST.
Honestly, there are a lot of things on this earth that surprise and confuse the shit out of me, and yet I don't constantly walk around with my hands in my pockets, chewing on my lip as though I'm perpetually uncomfortable. This, coupled with the fact that hes pocket sized, does not bode well for him.
Even in Alpha Dog, where he was supposedly a badass, he walks through that entire movie looking like someone just kicked his puppy. THAT WAS ANTON YELCHINS JOB. HE WAS THE KID THAT WAS ALL INNOCENT. STOP IT, HIRSCHY. STOP.
Of course, there are many actors that are thoroughly successful getting typecast (cough... tom hanks... cough). All I'm saying is I wish he would stop scratching the back of his head looking befuddled as though hes trying to figure out advanced calculous.
