I saw Tim give a lecture at the Corcoran a couple of years ago, and I think the entire room left deeply in love with him. He is awkward, self-depricating, and he could charm the designer pants off of literally anyone. LOVE.

When you consider how many geeky, asian american, girls there are in movies or on tv...that IS a big break. Sorry.
I'll take contrived twee over the rest of it. At least she looks like an actual person. I'm getting more than slightly tired of everyone complaining about things being "twee" or "cute". That's a damn sight better than, say, misogynistic or sexist.

I don't know, I hate cutesy quirky bullshit. I loathed Juno. But I like this girl, she made me laugh, she seems all right to me.

Also, I kind of resent some of the threads below saying that if you don't like her, you just are disappointed because she's not another Megan Fox/Insert "Typical" Actress Here. It's totally possibly to just not identify with her and not find her funny and also not like the idea of promoting Hollywood ideals & stereotypes.

Ok, I don't know how to link. And we've been asked not to call out commenters that way. And it's rude. But someone said her outfit is "trying too hard" and that it comes across as "desperate" and that her face weirds them out, etc. It's all there.
I don't want to get into an argument over a comedian. I was simply responding to a comment with my honest opinion, not trying to anger anyone (people who I quoted.)

I have no intention of seeing this movie, it's not my cup of tea, but I do like Charlene and she seemed nervous. I hope she doesn't read this website.

@brendahamLincoln: true but so did Cheech and Chong.

So, of course, find her funny or not on your own terms. I can't stand Adam Sandler and I love Patton Oswalt. Humor is very individual.
And I think there is an issue with the fact that we are conditioned at this point to expect certain things from actresses, both in looks and performances and acceptable persona's. Even those of us who think we don't, can be effected by that.
To me, I can support a movie that's imperfect if it's at least putting forth the effort to tell a worthwhile story. I don't just support anything, just because something is indie doesn't mean it's good or even promoting good ideas or stories. But just because something is cute or quirky doesn't mean it's bad, either.

It is not that I find Ms. Yi's persona to be unacceptable because I've been conditioned to expect something different, it is just that her manner is not to my taste. And that's OK, because as you said, humor (and compatibility, etc.) is individual. I really do wish her all the best, and hope the movie does well to encourage risk taking in film and television.

I almost like her, but it's like, cut the baby act, it's just as bad as Paris Hilton's.
And as a 24 who likes "grandma clothes," I dig it.
