K.Stew In Meet the Rileys

Or Welcome to the Rileys.

Amidst all the Twilight hooplah, we forget that Kristen Stewart actually has talent. I remember the days when she was praised for her acting, not condemned. I'm personally not a fan of her; I really hate it when she does press for Twilight-stuff related (get off your high-horse, girl!). But when I saw these pictures of Stewart as a prostitute in the movie, Meet the Rileys or Welcome to the Rileys, I must admit, I'm intrigued to see it.


The movie tells the story of a married couple whose marriage is deteriorating after losing their daughter 8 years ago. Doug (James Gandolfini), the husband, escapes by having an affair with a prostitute, whilst Lois (Melissa Leo), the wife, never leaves her home and feels much guilt for the death of their daughter. On a business trip, Doug finds himself in a strip club where he was offered a private dance by an underage prostitute, Mallory (Kristen Stewart). He turns it down and accompanies her home instead where he offered her $100 everyday for letting him stay there. Mallory accepts and together they started an unusual relationship of domesticity. Lois later gathers the courage to go outside to try save her marriage. She was initially shocked when she found the arrangement between her husband and the young prostitute, but soon warms up to Mallory due to her resemblance to her dead daughter. The three become an unusual family.


I don't know when the release date for this movie is, but I understand that the movie has already completed its filming. From the synopsis, it sounds interesting, yes? It'll be nice to see Stewart playing someone other than Bella (I really can't stand her screams, can you?). Let's wait and find out whether her dead eyes stems from her disability to relate to Bella, and not a permanent fixture of her acting.
