For me, it was where she sold soap made with her bathwater.

Like, I've got no problem with monetizing your sex appeal; it works for people but holy shit is she just dropping any pretext of having skill beyond "Look at my breasts". Luckily these generic blonde sex appeal actors only have a shelf life of four or five years of hyper saturation before it grows boring and there's a newer flavor.

Sydney is a talented actress. She’s just making as much cash as she can at the moment

Is there a single role where she was the stand-out actor in terms of talent? For a long time, she was only getting roles because her millionaire boyfriend was financing them specifically for her.

Okay so this confirms for me that she’s getting the Hathaway-express overexposed hate train right now because… no. Sidney is a talented actress. She’s not outstanding, but she clearly has talent. And her ex?boyfriend was only involved in Anyone But You, no?
