I agree she was great in SLPB but she’s very flat in HG. On another topic, weren’t the books supposed to be some artful critique of the Bush administration?
Actually I meant Anerican Hustle but she was good in the other film too.
I think the Katniss character was supposed to be deadpan. Her environment is totally depressing and little to smile about.
Lawrence, OTOH, is a "wild child" who says exactly what she is thinking and works at remaining "normal."
True or not, don't know, but I read that her parents wouldn't allow her to try acting until she finished high school...so she finished in 2 years with a 3.9 GPA...got her first acting job at age 14.
