She may very well be our Audrey Tautou. Very clever and very nice to see others that really like her work. I can’t say I have a problem with any of these picks.

ZD, although a very cute chick, is a ridiculously horrible actor. She has ruined every movie she has ever been in for me. Please stop Zooey! or take a couple years off and hone your lack of skills. you have got to be kidding me. ZD, although a very cute chick, is a ridiculously horrible actor.

I never know what I am going to come across next. I think you should do more posting as you have some pretty intelligent stuff to say.

She's mediocre at best. She displays the same dull emotion in all her roles. And to say Natalie Portman ruined the role in garden state is far from true.

Perhaps one of the best I've ever read. I'd really like to see Deschanel pair up with Zach Braff in a movie. That would be indie awesome! Excellent list idea! Perhaps one of the best I’ve ever read.

When they try rebooting it again, she needs to be cast in that role. Zooey is the perfect post-Kidder Lois Lane. When they try rebooting it again, she needs to be cast in that role.

I recently watched MADE IN USA in theaters and I'm like, since Godard is still alive, why hasn't he casted our modern day equivalent of the "godard-ling," ZD in any of his films? Has she not earned the right to take on Karina's mantle? Look at her ad for Olivier Peoples...and her music career with M Ward. Jean-luc, dress up Zooey and make her dance...revive back the early classics and shut up about communism. Audition tape #1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fJ9sfxUdLQ Ditto on your Godard comment.

To me, Zooey seemed like the mature voice of reason in that one. Watched The Go-Getter (2007) the other night. To me, Zooey seemed like the mature voice of reason in that one.

I would hope she changes it up soon and gets some more range on her resume before people start to get tired of her. perhaps it would be easier to just name the MPDGs you think she shouldn’t be type casted as?

But Deschanel still would have been much better in that role. True, not all these are technically real MPDGs, as I mention here and there.

Because that's the definition of an MPDG. She exists only to teach him to appreciate life and love again. And considering that movie was about a young woman and her mother, I don't think it qualifies. The girl in Pieces of April was a Manic Pixie Dream Girl opposite WHAT male main character?
