...seems a little overwhelmed by the giant scale of the project. Sometimes her lines (which were redubbed in post-production) don't exactly synch with the scene, but she's a pretty young thing, and it's forgivable. And talk of Lloyd's wooden performance (he had been dubbed "Mannequin Skywalker" by certain crewmembers) isn't really fair. The kid's no natural, but he gives a straightforward, acceptable read, especially considering the artificial dialogue he's given--that second "Yippee" really grates.

C.C., played a little over-dryly by Celeste Finn, brings little life to the introductory scenes. She sticks out of her dysfunctional family like a mannequin amidst real flesh-and-blood people. Perhaps the most refreshingly honest moment in all of Act I comes when she turns to her former-lover-turned-brother-in-law Ed, who is begging her to star in his play, and admits, "I really can't act, Ed." Sometimes honesty...
