Oh, Anne Hathaway, there you go downplaying your classic beauty yet again. From "The Princess Diaries" to "The Devil Wears Prada," Anne has long been Hollywood's go-to gal when a Plain Jane needs to jump from the page to the screen. Now she does it again in "One Day," in which she plays awkward leading lady Emma Morley. Some fans of the book even complained when Anne was cast, calling her "too pretty" for the role (maybe she and Jennifer Lawrence should share a rant about the woes of being too attractive to please book-loving fans).
It's hard to worry about what Anne looks like, though, when she's sharing the screen with Jim Sturgess (excuse us while we swoon). In the film, Anne and Jim play University of Edinburgh classmates (that's right: Anne's whipping out the British accent), who spend graduation night together. She's all kinds of awkward, he's all kinds of dashing and the story follows their on-and-off relationship for 20 years, told only by where they are on the anniversary of the graduation night tryst.
In our EXCLUSIVE sneak peek, it looks like Jim is writing something (sweet nothings? digits?) on a pretty stunned Anne's hand. It's cute, right? There's paper right there, but Jim goes for the hand. Okay, maybe we're getting a little caught up in the writing-on-her-hand thing, but we're grasping for anything to distract us from the clearly-from-a-flashback denim jacket (the things you do for your craft, Anne).
Are Anne and Jim believable as the "One Day" leads? Do you think Anne Hathaway is "too pretty" to play awkward? Tell us in the comments!
