    Christensen isn’t a bad actor (he was great working with Hank Azaria in Shattered Glass). Nobody could have saved that direction and dialogue.

      I think the dialogue and direction perfectly captured a shut-in teenage monk trying to flirt with the most attractive woman in the galaxy.

      Check out Life as a House if you haven’t seen it. The kid can actually act. Also, that movie may just fuck up your day, so have the tissues prepped.

      Fun fact: When watching the german versions of the prequels, the acting isn’t a problem anymore, as professional voice actors bring their own take to the characters and make some of it much more tolerable. Hayden was screwed by bad directing. And script of course.
