Watching her read her lines like she was in a high school play was cringeworthy to say the least.

Yes without a doubt, I felt she was acting like a Nicole Kidman wannabe.

II think Sarah Polley would've been perfect, as many have said. Not sure, however, if she would expose the way Lohman did

Interesting, I haven't seen Sarah Polley in many films but I certainly remember her performance from My Life Without Me.

Didn't they use a body double for Lohman at least during the "Alice" scene? I couldn't help thinking that as I was watching the film because of the way the shots were cut.
