Reader Request: Do you want Zooey at a concert or in a film?
April 16th, 2008 - by Eddie
Recently, Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward made hipsters cream themselves with the release of She & Him “Volume One
She’s always been great in films, delivering that much needed sarcastic tone/look/atmosphere that can elevate a film like “Failure to Launch” into the “watchable” pile.
But which do you prefer? Here are some videos to help you decide.
Zooey Deschanel in “Failure to Launch”
She & Him “Dream a Little Dream”
And by the way, if you haven’t picked up She & Him, it’s worth it, provided you like a throwback to the sounds of a ’70s summer and a cover of “You Really Got a Hold on Me.”
As for me, I think I prefer concert Zooey. Even “Elf” gets tiring after the 12th viewing and I can tell I’ll be listening to “Volume One” for a while.
*Update: Just found a NY Times article this morning on She & Him that’s worth your time.

I have to respectfully disagree with you. “Elf” never gets tiring. I love Zooey Deschanel in any capacity, but I have to go with film Zooey because she’s in two of my all time favorites, “Elf” and “Almost Famous.” The best is when she’s singing in a film, as she does in “Elf.” I do love me some She & Him though.
