Dakota Fanning… 6
Inherent loathsomeness [1-10]: She was home-schooled… 6Misdeeds [1-10]: This pod-child has made quite a career [20 films in 11 years] out of being just like that annoyingly, syrupy-sweet “Jerry Maguire” kid. She’s like a baby Renee Zellweger, tilting her head, squinting her eyes and speaking wisdom beyond her years as American movie-goers shake their collective head in a kids-sure-do-say-the-darndest-things kinda way… 7
Mitigating factors [1-10]: She’s taller than her “War of the Worlds” co-star, Tom Cruise, and she’s bound to go through her awkward teenaged phase any day now… 3
Cultural saturation [1-10]: She is in every movie due to come out this Christmas… 9
Bonus points [1-10]: She has a younger sister, also an actress. We must stop them before they become the Olson twins… 5
