Jason Statham is the action movie Micheal Cera... (Posted on 1/10/13 at 7:48 pm)
Dude has one character he plays in every movie. Ppl crap all over MC for this, JS is just as bad if not worse. I swear his is wearing the same suit from the Transporter in his new movie.

Michael Cera is awesome. Half the comediens out there play the same role each time. It's because they are funny. I want to laugh when I'm watching a comedy. I don't care if it's the same way I laughed in his last comedy. I don't know why Cera gets singled out every time stuff like this is brought up.

I saw Cera's band at a music fest in Denton a while back.
They all went out drinking at local bars afterwards. He came into one of the venues I was at and from afar seemed pretty nice about people coming up to him.
I thought it was cool he was willing to walk amongst us peons.

I think the difference stems from their particular genres. When people see a Jason Statham film (I could just be speaking for myself here, I'll admit that), they aren't expecting to be blown away by an actor's "range." What I'm struggling to convey is that we just have lower expectations for what an action movie should be because the genre lends itself to a certain campiness.
Michael Cera tends to play more dramatic roles but it's always a similar sort of character, so people give him crap for not stretching further. People just expect a little more out of an actor who has placed himself in a more dramatic niche as opposed to what Jason Statham has done.
