Why Don’t I Like Amy Adams?
March 3rd, 2008 by Evil Beet
Does anyone else feel this way?
I mean, there’s nothing wrong with her. She’s just some random actress who generally does a good job of staying out of the tabloids, but whenever I see a picture of her, I’m just annoyed. I know it’s totally unfair of me. I mean, I have absolutely no basis for this feeling, it just comes.
Here’s Amy at a screening for Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day in NYC
(Side note: As I was typing in Amy’s name, I kept spelling it “Amy Adamns.” I did this like three times in a row, and couldn’t figure out why I insisted on putting an “n” in her name. Then it occurred to me that I’m just so used to typing the word “damn” that my fingers type “dam” and just assume an “n” should come next. I need to be hospitalized.)

High-larious on the “damn” tip. Maybe her pointy features insight this annoyance?
I feel the same way too, she was cute in the Disney movie, i liked it, but I just dont like her! She looks like an annoying person, she just has that look of girls with shrill voices and airhead thoughts.
nooooooooo she’s awesome, I loved her as the dumbass cheerleader in drop dead gorgeous!
She dated Jim in the Office!!!! Don’t hate!
Yeah I think it’s because she was the “other woman” there for a while on The Office to the wonderful Jim and Pam (Jam).
nah, I’m with ya beet. She “bugs” me too. The Oscar red carpet inteview with Ryan Secrest is what made me not like her. Not sure why, no reason…there’s just something about Amy…she comes across too pure/goodie-goodie or something…
OMG!!!
It’s true! She’s the cheerleader in Drop Dead Gorgeous!!!
Omg HAHAHA I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
So I love Amy Adams!
Totally bugs me.
Could have hit her for the way she ‘performed’ at the oscars.
Bugged me since I first saw her in a mini role on Buffy.
Is it just me or does she seem…dumb?
yeah, not really a fan of amy either. that damn side note was absolutely hysterical, beet. hope you’re feeling better!! xo.
Jessica,
she’s bugged me since Buffy, too! Perhaps because the part (Tara’s annoyingly un-feminist cousin) was very annoying. I absolutely wanted some random vampire to kill her.
She DID bug me for no good reason, until i saw her in the movie “Junebug”…
I think she’s totally cute. She was cute on The Office and she was awesome in Junebug. I had forgotten about her part on Buffy but remember, regardless of the part, it was written that way and she performed it so she shouldn’t be judged for that.
I haven’t seen Enchanted but I will when it comes out on dvd. And I’ve seen none of those Disney type movies, haven’t seen Shrek or Nemo or … well, any of them, but Enchanted I want to see.
Beet, you are so awesome. I couldn’t agree more! I have felt the same way forever – i have no reason to dislike this girl, and yet i just do
I’m with you. Something about the red hair, I think. Julianne Moore annoys me too. And that X-Files woman, what was her name?
Anyway, based on that screechy performance during the Oscars, it’s safe to say I will not be lining up to see Enchanted. Jack Nicholson said it best: “I’d rather stick needles in my eyes.”
Gillian Anderson
idk what is your problem with her she is a great actress and she just acts out the script they give her and at least she is trying to go somewhere with her career. she gonna try to make it anyway she can. at least give her credit for performing at the oscars, it takes guts of steel to sing in front of other great actor/actresses. i admire her for working hard and trying her best.
True, she’s talented and professional – respected by the people she works with and can manage to have a career without showing us her ladyflower, and appears to be smart with a sense of humor and has some sense of fashion. Yup, she’s annoying.
I wouldn’t call her talented. She doesnt’ seem very capable of playing anyone not perky and cheerful and high-voiced. Not that I can truly say as I haven’t seen all her movies yet, but she tends to play very annoying characters over and over again.
Just looking at her I think I figured it out – big eyes, big nose, small lips and high screeching voice – she’s completely off balance. Hater her on the oscars but still kind want to see that enchanted only for McDreamy – yum.

i also liked her in drop dead gorgeous, she aight
I almost punched my laptop in the face…
It’s simple. Straight guys love her. Girls hate her for catty jealous reasons.
so welll said. :)
shes so dam hot…and im not a big fan of readheads…..but i admit i have sthg for her….a lot……hahhaha
…but i wonder how she is really, being brought up in a mormon family, and supported by Kirsty Alley…that all sounds a bit……..i dunno….well u know wht i mean….
A lot of straight guys don’t, and I’ve never heard of any girls hating her. I don’t know why they would- she seems nice and smart and she’s not particuarly hot so why hate her?
I love the way she brings confidence to all those underestimated pale girls with red hair out there… being one of them myself, I think she’s a great role model! =PP
she is exstremly cute,I love her.
I can confirm, having spent lots of time with Amy on the set of Junebug, that she is one of the most genuine and talented women that I have ever encountered in the industry. She is totally laid back and down to earth, and she is not an “airhead” by any stretch – she is an intelligent, career-driven woman.
Thank you !
I was looking for “the” nice comment in there and finally found it !
I don’t know what’s wrong with people, I believe part of it is jealousy.
All I can say is that, as far as I know, if there’s one actress, ONE, that I’d like to congratulate today it’s Amy Adams.
I’ll remind or inform some of you that Amy comes from a big family of 7 kids and didn’t become an actress because her mummy or daddy worked in the movie industry. From what I’ve read and heard she worked very hard to become what she is nowadays.
I’m seventeen and I’m an aspiring ballet dancer who lives in LA on my own, which is probably not exactly the same as being an aspiring actress i guess, but I still know how hard it can be to battle for something that seems unreachable to you and how being positive and determined is an attitude that you have to adopt in order to be able to put yourself together, focus, and get to work everyday!
So those of you who are “bugged” by Amy’s positivity, cheerfulness, sense of humor, good manners or whatever..(not even talking about the physical criteria that some of you mentioned ) I hope that one day you will understand that those are the things that, again, I believe, brought her to the top.
maybe your an idiot
maybe your just an idiot
“Those who love everyone have no taste; those who are loved by everyone have no character”
You are mostly all demented and evolving the wrong way. You’re either jealous or nasty as Amy Adams is the most beautiful and talented actress in Hollywood
Amy Adams is a breath of fresh air, a real sweetie. I hope she will retain her classy, well mannered image and not be corrupted by Hollywood. The mean spirited comments here reflect badly on the persons making them, not Amy.
i agree she just annoys me i dunno why…. shes a great actress with good, looks, style and integrity, but she just annoys me
I agree- she seems OK for a popular Hollywood star, but she annoys me too. Probly cuz she tends to play annoying people all the time, and as a great lover of unusual beauty, she’s very generic. Generic people just annoy me for some reason. I think she’d at least look better if she hadn;t dyed her hair; red doesn’t suit her.
also… I may be the only one but her eyes frighten me. o.O
Everyone uses the word ‘annoy’ to describe how she irks them. I don’t find her annoying or irritating so much as just inexplicably successful. She is neither beautiful nor a good actress. In every film I’ve seen her in, she seems acutely aware of the camera and herself, and this tense energy around her is distracting. In Julia and Julia, she comes off overly cutesy as usual, and this is greatly magnified by her starring opposite such a stellar and natural actress as Meryl Streep. The film would have been worlds better if they’d matched Ms. Streep with someone either closer to her own caliber or a total nobody.
Her emotions are stilted and over-exaggerated, her lines are delivered with the natural ease of Teddy Ruxpin, and if you stare at her photo for a minute you will see she is not at all attractive, even on the homely side of plain. And I usually love redheads. With her lack of talent she should have to look as good as Catherine Zeta-Jones to be successful
How many films will we be forced to endure before the studios realize what a sugary toothache-inducing puppet she is?
very well said!
So don’t be surprised if and when the Amy Nazis attack you. They hate anyone disagreeing with her mediocre acting, plain looks, and boring but famous arse.
