Dakota is a "VERY GOOD GIRL."



Dakota Fanning is in talks to star opposite Elizabeth Olsen (infamous little sister of the titular Mary-Kate & Ashley) in Naomi Foner's  “Very Good Girls.” The rest of the cast is no less stellar and includes the talents of  Peter Sarsgaard, Dustin Hoffman and Sissy Spacek.


     Written and directed by Naomi Foner (Loosing Isaiah),the storyline revealed thus far: “Very Good Girls” follows two teenage girls through the New York City summer after they graduate from high school and decide to lose their virginity. When they both fall for the same charismatic street artist, their friendship is tested and they have to find their way through a tangle of lies and complicated intentions to discover what real love is.  Producers Gale Anne Hurd and Hawk Koch head production; filming is expected to start in September.

     Excuse me, am I missing something here?  Haven't we seen this all before?  I may be a bit old fashioned, behind the times, but it seems to me that a race to loose one's virginity doesn't  rank as one of life's most decorous,  unachievable, not to mention exemplary behaviors . . . I think the word we're looking for here is SLUT. 

     "Get off the table Mable, that money is for the waitress!"  I may be having a Déjà vu moment, but it seems like  we've seen this all before from from the pure at heart, Barnaby and Cornelius . . .  ♫ Out there, there's a world outside of Yonkers . . . ♫  in HELLO DOLLY to the raunchy and debased PORKY and dishonorable mention AMERICAN PIE. Who can forget the unfortunate pairing of Kristy McNichols and Tatum O'Neal in LITTLE DARLINGS, that vacant vapid vacuous 80's summer camp movie, in a race to loose their own virginity.  Yeah, been there, done that.
 

     I for one remain very disappointed in Dakota and her management, that she is unable to find any better material than this.  Saorise Rohan at least got herself cast as an Elf  maiden in "The Hobbit." I might be a little old fashioned, but the last time I checked, getting your cherry popped doesn't exactly rank up there with the achievement of discovering plutonium.

 

Dakota you could do so much better.
