She is one of the best actresses ever. Between her moives as Elf, The Happening or Euology... or her music as Why do you let my stay here, I Thought I saw your face today or Change is hard, Or even her acclaimed mini-series Tin Man I don't know which she is best at. She is truly one of a kind in this generation. Zooey is one of the best actresses out there and deserves more. I am a fan of hers no doubt, I can wait to see her in her upcoming film and hope more roles are on the way.

Zooey Deschanel is one of the most talented actors I've seen come out of Hollywood. She has had such great performances such as the character Noel in All The Real Girls. That was such a real performance and one that made it seem like she wasn't an actor being paid to do it. Also in the movie The Go-Getter, one word: incredible.
Her more "mainstream" (read: non-indie) movie choices have also been unusual including a store elf, a space-travelling human, a bird-hating semi-alcoholic roomate, a lifesaver penguin, cabaret singer and a happy music teacher. Think what you will of her, but her acting performances speak for themselves. There are those who appreciate a fresh, young and skilled actor. Not to mention a highly talented singer/songwriter.

Zooey is the worst actress I have seen come from Hollywood. How can anyone say she is any good is beyond me. In Tin Man she was horrible, she ruined the movie. Her reaction to things were completely idiotic. I saw her in The Happening, a friend wanted to see it, and I didn't know anything about the movie. If I had known she was in it, I would have said NO. She was ridiculous in the movie. In the scene where she is at the dining room table with the husband, little girl and the crazy old woman, she was all cheery and happy being nice to the woman as if everything that just happened NEVER happened! She has no idea how to react to things, and she seems to forget that she just saw dozens of people kill themselves. She is amazingly bad and should be banned from movies forever.

Zooey Deschanel is, surprisingly, a mildly talented actress. In every role she really makes you believe that she actually is the character she's portraying. This sense of realism is what makes her really stand out above the masses of the rest of actresses today. My favorite movie of her's is "Vanilla Sky."
