Opened my eyes to the lack of acting ability
Don't get me wrong here.. I loved The Big Bang Theory and thought Parsons was a great actor. I believed the part as Sheldon was made for him and his demeanor. I always thought he made the show what it was. That was until I watched this movie.
This movie has a great story line with a bounty of emotional scenes that would overwhelm any viewer. Most of the actors fit well in their characters with the exception of Parsons. He just didn't fit.. I'm not sure if they purposely pulled character traits from Sheldon or if that is the only way Parsons can act. But the character just did not fit. Parsons needs to play another character in another film that is non-distinctive of the Sheldon character and play it well before I will once again believe he can truly act.
At this point I feel he was offered a gold mine when he was offered the roll of Sheldon. But what I haven't seen is the ability for him to act outside of that character. I hope he ventures into something new in the future. I wish him well but I won't be lining up to watch anything he is in just because he is in it like I did this movie. I don't want another disappointment...
