Addison Rae responds to critics who criticize her film without watching it

[ad_1]

Addison Rae officially made his big screen debut in Netflix’s “He’s All That” – but he hasn’t exactly received scintillating reviews, and he’s even been snubbed by people who refuse to watch him.

Addison Rae first rose to fame as TikToker in 2019. Two years later, Rae managed to amass over 83 million followers, launch a musical career and even start his life as a star of budding cinema.

Netflix’s “He’s All That” was released on August 27, giving viewers a Gen-Z, gender-specific take on the ’90s classic “She’s All That”. Once news broke that Rae would be taking the helm of the film, criticism immediately erupted online, with commentators claiming that she did not deserve the role due to her status as a TikToker.

After the film was released, it generated a lot of backlash and achieved an audience score of 25% on Rotten Tomatoes. From continuity mistakes to the roasting of Rae’s acting game, it certainly took a beating in terms of reviews … but Addison Rae believes some critics didn’t even watch the movie before bashing it on social media.

In an interview with co-star Tanner Buchanan, Rae began by speculating that critics might have a harder time seeing her as a character, rather than a famous TikToker on the internet.

“I feel like this is something people struggled to understand when they started out in the movie business,” she explained. “People are very associative with me and who I am, so it takes almost a little bit more to convince someone that I am a character, you know?”

“I’m glad people watch ‘He’s all that’ and form opinions about it based on their own experience, instead of like, ‘Oh, whatever, we think this is how It’s gonna be, so I’m not looking at it, because I heard it’s… you know what I mean?

This isn’t the first time Rae has hit back at critics who criticize her acting skills or her appearance in a big movie. she also begged skeptical viewers to “give her a chance” in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.

It’s unclear if He’s All That will be forever remembered as a flop, or if it will become a cult classic later on … but for now, it seems like it remains a matter of contention among moviegoers around the world. .
