In Time Turns Public Opinion Against Justin Timberlake's Acting Again
The public's official stance on Justin Timberlake’s acting career is "please please please go back to making music." Sure, he was fine in The Social Network, and the movie was a monster, but JT's performance wasn’t its lynchpin. (Really, anybody could have played that part — Chris Messina? Armie Hammer in a curly wig? — and the movie would have ticked right along.) Timberlake’s actorly rep was actually helped more by July's Friends With Benefits. It made money, got good reviews, and beat No Strings Attached in the Great Fuckbuddies Rom-Com War of 2011. And more importantly, it featured Justin (and/or his butt) in nearly every scene, and most moviegoers found him winning and non-replaceable. Things were on an upswing. Then, In Time happened.
