15 Insufferable Movie Protagonists That Ruined Their Movies
15. Mia - If I Stay
If I Stay is a terrible, eye-roll inducing teen weepie and it's made even worse by the protagonist, Mia Hall, being so unlikable.
Mia is whiny, ungrateful and so annoying she actually approaches Bella Swan territory at times. She just complains about everything and doesn't show any gratitude to anyone, including her family (who are actually really cool characters and definitely the best thing in the movie) or her blandly-written but undeniably devoted and adoring boyfriend Adam.
Speaking of that, the film is based around Mia having an out-of-body experience after a car crash that kills her family and leaves her comatose; she is debating over whether to wake up and live or die. While in this state, she mostly thinks about Adam, who she'd broken up with some time before and hardly gives her own family, who have just all died in an appalling tragedy, any thought. That's... pretty uncomfortable.
Mia is played by the talented Chloe Grace Moretz, who was more or less Hollywood's best young actor at that time. Alas, having learnt nothing from Carrie, a miscast Moretz mopes her way through another outcast role and gives her worst performance (bar Movie 43) to date.
