When Lindsay Lohan was nice, she made some cute movies for Disney. I hope she will come back after Machete and Lizz and Dick.

As much as I say I hate this movie, I find myself watching it in its entirety whenever its on TV. Its one of those "that would be so awesome if that happened to me" movies that are addicting in an odd sort of way.
