Because, at the age of 22, he's probably made more money than anyone on this forum will make in their entire lives?

Yeah, I think that might have something to do with it. :shrug:

That doesn't make a bit of sense. That would mean that we would hate every actor, every athlete, every celebrity EVER.

You guys should watch Clark & Michael. The short web series he did with Clark Duke. He was really hilarious in that as well as everything else he's been in. Except Year One, that movie was beyond terrible.

I've avoided him without even trying. Looking at his filmography, I can't say I've seen much of his work.

Oh well, I'll go ahead and hate him as well.

He stars in lame movies. That's why.

Because he seems like a hipster :)

He has already FAR outpaced Heder. I like Cera, but I think that he really needs to stretch his wings a bit, his Francois Dillinger in Youth in Revolt was close, but even that was half a joke.

Overexposed. I can still enjoy everything he does in Arrested Development, but the endless barrage of movies with him have worn his welcome out IMO.

I think what annoys me is that he's 22 & looks and sounds like he hasn't hit puberty yet.

Ok, I watched a full episode of that last night, thinking "Maybe he loosens up in this and shows us another side?" but no....same Michael Cera.

At this point, one can easily assume that he's heard all of the talk about his lack of range, and yet he doesn't even seem to try to break it. Sure, he's making money, but you'd think he'd have more pride in his craft.

'bout sums it up for me also.

Congratulations, you just described about 50% of the internet... and the rest is porn.

He has zero range, and the one character he plays in every film is annoying. Don't need much more than that to hate on the guy.

I'm waiting for him to do a Harpo Marx biopic.

Well, at least that would shut him up.

Because he looks like he should be getting his ass beaten, for which the audience is always rooting for, yet somehow they're never given that pay-off.

I'd never heard of him until reading the SP thread and can't recall ever seeing anything he was in. But that wasn't a poll option.

:up:

George Michael was awesome. Unfortunately we have gotten George Michael in a dozen different movies the past 3 years.

I have never thought he should be getting his ass beaten, nor have I rooted for it to happen.

Glad to see you join us, Mr. Cera.

I don't hate the guy, but I'm certainly not out looking for movies starring him. He seems to have limited range, which is fine, only the movies that he fits in don't interest me much.

He needs to grow some facial hair.
