Her comedic timing is insane. This is one of the best dumb character performances I’ve seen on film. She’s not overplaying it, it’s got the right subtlety to it which lends for a natural performance. The fact that this is only her 1st movie is even more insane.
@@beth.darvell Yes! She’s only acted in two minor roles in a soap opera, one in which she was easily outacting the more experienced Michael B. Jordan who played her love interest at the time.
Little Furby That’s the joke 😂 Usually ESP is referred to as the “sixth” sense, so she makes two jokes in one, calling it a fifth sense, and calling it ESPN 😂
Fun fact: Amanda was originally gonna be cady, but the producers just found her better fit for Karen. Also with Lindsay, she was originally cast as Regina, but she didn’t want people to think her real life personality was like reginas, so they gave her cady and then cast Rachel mcadams.
In my opinion Karen smith was obviously the bullied kid at one point but probably had got taken under Reginas wing because she just wanted to be accepted. Same with Gretchen wieners & Cady heron.
Karen was the best of them! Second favourite is Cady, third Gretchen Wieners - and idk, but ... I don't like Regina as much as the others, but I like her, too. It's just a good movie :D
0:03 - 0:04 I've seen this movie like 50 times now, and the part where the football hits her like that after Janis says she's dumb, I laugh to the point I can't breathe.
I like Karen shes a sweet heart and shes also a great singer in real life I love Amanda Seyfried good singer and actress. If you don't believe me watch Mamma Mia she was great at singing Abba songs. Karen was nice I loved her in this movie.
@@linzainib7441 well she is great at acting. A lot of people hate on Keanu Reeves after seeing him in John Wick they should watch what they say. To be honest people also give Channing Tatum hate and he's actually really good in the Jump Street movies. He's also one of my favorite action actors. Another good action actor is John Claude Van Damme who's my second just a tad behind Jason Statham. To be honest Amanda Seyfried played her role perfectly because she plays her character very well. Usually just takes acting a lot of people think I'm really funny and at work I'm really happy usually but sometimes I deal with a lot of anxiety. Last year for some reason I felt like I got hit in the stomach by a baseball bat. I had a pile of anxiety but I try to hide it at work. I think one of at work my anxiety wears off a little bit though. Though I have had anxiety since 2013 it does wear off sometimes.
@@DerekBoldiene360 you're right and anxeity can be irritating aswell i had it when i was little sometimes aswell with college exams and work, thinking that i missed something out . And yeah i like amanda seyfried too she is sweet and kind and i loce her singing
It’s in the storyline too. Regina says in one scene that Karen should be the spring fling queen since she’s the prettiest one but that everyone forgets about her because she’s such a slut lol
Karen was not even mean, she was a cinnamon roll which makes me wonder why she was one of the plastics. Maybe it’s because she was an airhead so Regina thought she would be easy to manipulate.
I always think of the Mean Girls characters as SpongeBob characters. Regina totally represent Mr Krabs. Janis represents Plankton. Kadie would definitely have to represent SpongeBob. For me Karen has always represented Patrick because of the dimwitted personality. But I never really thought of which SpongeBob character Gretchen could represent
I know a girl exactly like karen smith who acts like her and whoever she is friends with she follows whatever her friends do and one of her friends like regina bullied her and bossed her, shes silly and struggles like Karen but they are so similar
is it just me or both gretchen and karen weren't really mean? karen was a bit clueless and gretchen maybe a bit of a spoilt rich girl but like- those two weren't really mean in my opinion?
Greatchen was mean. Karen was the only genuinely nice person in the movie- and that's why she's popular. No one really dislikes her, and they adopt her as a pet. Her position in the plastiques isn't as a mean girl, she can't be the "alpha" but she's "picked" by others because she's nice.
