you've lost your mind.
Jamie Lynn Spears is one the crappiest actors on my list, even along with her older sister, Britney Spears, lacks skills and talent in her acting, as well.
Kids are just kids, and most kids aren't really good actor or actresses, and they are only trained to do better in the future, so why don't you just cut them some friggin' slack and just keep it to yourself?
drew barrymore, who first appeared in "E.T."...her acting wasn't really good, but she sure improved her talent in later films like "the wedding singer", "donny darko", and "50 first dates".
she is becoming a serious actress, as most kids will learn to do better when they watch their movies and see what needs to be fixed and what needs not to be fixed...
as for famous kids like the one in the "home alone" movies, he really sucked. but he proably would've been a great actor if he still continued his acting career, but I guess he quit since he was pissed off with his parents taking all the cash he earned when he was a kid.
There are only afew who are really good actors...such like the kid who played in "the sixth sense" and "A.I."...he was just really smart.
and I thought one of the best kid actress who played in "my name is Sam" and "man on fire"...she sure has true talent, as well.
but hell, who cares if their actings sucked? they are just kids, so cut 'em some slack and just let 'em have some fun doing the filming and all.
