5Ha well thats funny everybody has to start from somewhere && so what if she started from disney channel she is a grown woman now && just like everybody else needs to do better things for their carreer. im sure you don't still play with your toys at work or do you. Jelousy isn't pretty don't envy she is famous. I love her for her not for where she started && im happy she is a mommy to be:)
That is Not what I heard 2 Months ago this was way before Hilary was pregant! the real fact is the Producer Decided to drop Duff because she was Not the right Fit. If you dont believe Me Look It Up! I think all Duff Fans (even if there Haylie Duff Fans) should Protest against this Movie For Dropping Hilary!
Good! Now the movie will be good. Hillary Duff is okay as an actress but she's not convincing in serious roles. She's more comedy and slapstick like Amanda Bynes. Now it will be a better movie since stronger actors will be in it. No one takes Hillary serious as an actress but fans of her Disney days. Hollywood doesn't take these Disney turned "real" former child actors serious.
I've now lost all interest in this movie.
well that sux. i was looking forward to seeing hilary duff in another movie finally!
