... View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
... View MoreThis film has a dumb script and I could have done without McFly (I'm not a fan. Lindsey and the other two girls are great, I could have done with seeing more of them. The daft things they make Lindsey do is an embarrassment to watch (and I'm certain for Lindsey too). Somebody get her a great script like in "Mean Girls" (please)!
... View MoreFirst of all, Lindsay Lohan was COMPLETERY unsuitable for the role. She still looks like the 15-year-old teen from "Mean Girls", so she's very unconvincing as someone, who's got the kind of job most people would have to study for 4 years and work for 10+ years to get promoted to.Extremely formulaic and predictable. Not one moment of spontaneity or surprise. You know how it's going to end -- before you've even started watching it.The acting wasn't very good, but you wouldn't expect much better from a generic rom-com anyway, so even that is hardly a surprise.Nothing at all original about this movie. It's composed of two elements: boring and cheesy. At times, it gets so ridiculous, it's actually a pain to watch.It's an entirely unremarkable movie -- I didn't remember ANYTHING from it the next day. I know it wasn't supposed to be a "serious" movie, but the point of rom-coms is entertainment. There was none here. It was just TOO predictable, generic, and uninspiring.Unless they're a die-hard fan of Lindsay Lohan's, I really don't think anyone would miss anything by skipping this nondescript piece of...
... View MoreThis really is a chick-flick movie compared to other rom-coms I have seen and is more sugary and sentimental than most, but that dosen't make it bad. Lindsay Lohan plays Ashley who is known as the luckiest woman around, but after a chance encounter with Jake played by Chris Pine she realises her fortune of luck has switched with his.This is very predictable with the outcome at the end with a cliché plot and cheesy dialogue making the film silly but the two main leads act well and are charming and cute. In terms of that you actually route for the two to get together and laugh at the silliness of it all. This is nothing special at all but I think the very low ratings are a bit harsh. All in all I enjoyed this for it's length. It was good fluffy entertainment.
... View MoreThere's something just not much fun about this movie. The music is good, probably the best part of this film. It runs like a bad episode of the first season of some TV comedy/romance from the 1980s. It's cut just like a TV show. Point, shoot and Cut. Point, shoot and Cut.The schmaltzy music over the dialog, and lame set-ups that lead to predictable action are just a pain to watch.Lindsay Lohan's Character attempts to wax the floor with a motorized waxer while wearing ridiculous high-heels. Seriously, if you're wearing a pair of $600 designer shoes, are you really going to risk getting wax on them, even if your brain can't foresee the future result of your ass hitting the ground while attempting to move the waxer across the floor while it is running? I found myself, on more than one occasion, declaring out loud "Oh my God, this is so freaking retarded." The cinematography doesn't make up for the terrible, lame script. There aren't any really beautiful shots to marvel. The editors didn't even include any shots that capture the wonder of New York.The style of filming, as though it were a T.V. show pilot, is not forgivable, considering the budget.It's a paint-by-numbers film. So awful. Artless. Souless. They made this film on auto-pilot. The writer, director, editor, actors -- all sleepwalking.
