Painful female character

Rating: 4/10 (15 April 2015)

I'm surprised I haven't seen more complaints about the female lead. Her dialog and flirting is so painful it ruins the film for me. Her character is there only for sex appeal, and is depicted as completely irresistible but pointless otherwise. Maybe a 12-year-old will by that nonsense, but as a 20-year-old woman, it's a snooze fest!
Not only does she respond to Kale's creepy behavior by flirting back, she then uses it against him when he's interrupting her party. I would be angry too and no, Kale was not being cute or romantic, but it was made apparent that she was enjoying it. Why is she all of a sudden upset about it when she knew it had been going on for a while?
Don't get me started on Kale's ridiculous speech he gives her, no it's not cute to be spied on and used as your personal peep show. Who does he think he is? And he goes on to say how special she is which is obviously meant to appeal to insecure girls who may be watching the film. "I read books too! I'm not like those *other* silly girls who read 'teen magazine'!" Has he honestly never seen a girl read a book before?
"You're looking at the world, I'm looking at you." Most of the time in the moments he's watching her, he's doing it in a sexual way. Like when she's doing yoga and he says "you started without me huh?" That's weird, she's not a television show show. He's so entitled. This speech is the first time he mentions that he thinks she may be interesting as a person.
I think this film underestimates how many males would rather see a well-developed character than Miss Boobs-on-a-stick. It's okay to have hot girls in movies, but give them something to do other than get the male lead erect. The director obviously told her to strut everywhere she walked and everything is so forced in her performance that it makes me angry that such a beautiful actress didn't get anything else to work with.
I enjoyed the film otherwise, there were a lot of holes in the story, but for horror films and thrillers I am able to suspend my disbelief and enjoy it anyway. But the romance had nothing to do with the scary part, so why would I care anyway? Like I said, it really ruined the movie for me.
