She can seem quite bland and has her mom’s soft-talk thing. And I hate hate what I have seen of the 50 Shades movies. But I really liked her in that show she was a single mom with Nat Faxon as her zany brother. That was the first thing I had ever seen her in and my first thought was, man she’s kinda blah. But then I found her to be very sweet and funny. I saw her name in the opening credits, but it wasn't until a few episodes later that I realized who her parents were. That threw me for a loop. The show didn’t last long at all but that character was my main reference for her. So I was thrown back through the loop when she was cast as Bella Swan redux. I loved Ben and Kate! The whole cast was great.

I haven't seen anything with her in it, I've only seen pictures of her. She has mega-potato face going on. I wouldn't call her outright unattractive, but there's no way she would be successful without nepotism. There are just too many people in Hollywood who are much better looking.

I agree. To me she is the modern day Liv Tyler. Not unattractive, but if she were a co-worker of mine,I wouldn't describe her as beautiful. Both very obviously got their fame from their parents.

Liv's acting is mediocre to bad, but I find her STUNNING, and she seems like a sweet person to boot, so I kind of root for her. I can't say any of that about Dakota, except the mediocre acting. Dakota is totally blah.

I've seen her in two movies, 50 Shades and Black Mass, and she wasn't good in either of them. She was simultaneously over the top and forgettable in Black Mass. I've given her enough chances.

Yeah, I think Liv is a reallllly bad actress but I think she is STUNNING. Like who looks the way she did at 15? Incredible.

I like Liv. She is a pretty bad actress, but on a human level, Rundgren did a bang up job raising a good person, so I like her.
But just like when I look at Julia Roberts, all I can see is Eric -when I look at Liv (even though I KNOW Bebe Buell is her mom) all I see is Steven.
And she must, too. One of my favorite stories is about when she asked Todd (who raised her as his own) why she looked JUST LIKE “Uncle Steven?”
ETA: topic? Dakota CAN’t be as bad as 50 Shades makes her look....

That movie she made where she and her friends are single in some big city (don’t care enough to even look it up), I thought it seemed like she had a little spark of personality.
I haven’t seen her latest movies, but I saw that “Bad Times...” is on HBO now, so maybe I’ll watch it.
Re- Liv. She seems like the sweetest person.

Jeff Bridges is good, I'll never complain about Chris Hemsworth's bare chest, but everyone else is just window dressing. I honestly didn't remember Dakota was in it until someone mentioned it in this thread.

I saw Dakota snap at her mom Melanie in a super bitchy tone and then rolled her eyes at her when they walked the red carpet at some event a few years back and Melanie looked genuinely hurt and embarrassed. I felt really sorry for her. It made me grateful that my daughters have never ever behaved that ways towards me in public (of course, they could be little shits at home towards me when they were teens). Other than that, I don't really know much about Dakota, she was actually kind of funny when she hosted SNL, but that snotty attitude towards her mom on camera was disappointing.
