I thought he was fine, but that's it. It points out yet again how little artistry is needed to be a competent actor in Hollywood.

You can slot anybody into these roles, particularly when they're supporting. You've got Pugh, who is truly gifted, carrying the vast majority of the load in this. You can "insert" Styles any way you'd like. He draws teen girls. Evidently, via selling out 15 consecutive nights at MSG, he draws more than teen girls. 

I'm already starting to wish there's a way to escape the guy. I don't give one rip about his middling pop music. He's the opposite of a classic rock star (the opposite of having a strong personality) and now I've got to deal with him when i go to the movies too? 

But again, lots of people, LOTS, could've competently played that role. 

So much of the plot driven dialog just stops Don't Worry Darling dead in its tracks. It just doesn't work. goodvibe61 Sep 24, 17:00

WOM is pretty mixed. I don't see much in this film developing legs. {nm} VictorY Sep 24, 17:10

thanks for the insights {nm} tealfan Sep 24, 18:22

what WAS the secret,...I must have missed it! {nm} GLAMMGUY Sep 24, 18:23

There's a big reveal (MAJOR SPOILERS) TheWeekendWarrior Sep 25, 08:54

Harry Slyles acting was a huge problem. DWD could have used a much more seasoned actor for such a piviol role. {nm} Movie Cub Sep 25, 07:47

Many actors have better acting skill than Harry Slyles, but very few of them have bigger box office draw than him {nm} Peterlee Sep 25, 08:58

That's premature. DWDRL may top out around $45 million. {nm} Antibody Sep 25, 09:11

Anyone with more box office draw would have cost $12-20 million vs $3 or less for him (total budget was $35 million), not worth it. notfabio Sep 25, 09:30

It was a weird movie... $45 is probably the upper limit of it with anyone in it. And, might squeak out a profit too (narrowly) {nm} Kevman66 Sep 25, 23:45

The majority of the role just retired him to look good in a suit, which, check, but (spoilers inside) Kevman66 Sep 25, 23:15

He's better in My Policeman but that's Amazon so won't be able to compare box office. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 25, 10:23

I can think of 20 off the top of my head {nm} Moviesnob Sep 25, 11:54

Yup... totes. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 25, 08:53
