An average movie

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was starring Lindsay Lohan and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, it was not really good, in fact, it was even pretty weak. First of all, I have to admit that I do have actually a weak spot for romantic-comedies. Unfortunately, like most movies in this genre, they went for some kind of moronic gimmick so I’m afraid the damned thing was pretty much doomed to fail from the start. Furthermore, sure, Ireland did look quite gorgeous in this movie but there was also something rather fake about this postcard look though. And, yet, I thought it was pretty cool to see Lohan making a come-back after almost 20 years. Furthermore, even though the story was rather lame and her character was barely interesting, I thought she was quite charismatic though. It’s too bad that the supporting characters were not entertaining whatsoever and I guess it was a strategy to make sure that none of them could upstage Lohan in any way. Sure, this come-back (which actually started a few years before with ‘Falling for Christmas’ but I didn’t see it yet) never came near the level of ‘Iron Man’ for Robert Downey Jr. or ‘The Wrestler’ for Mickey Rourke. However, at least, it was nice to see her finally in a good shape after all these years and I hope she will keep this up and maybe even tackle some more challenging work in the future (she probably won’t though). Anyway, to conclude, even if it was a decent effort from Lohan, the damned thing was still pretty weak though and I don’t think it is really worth a look, except maybe if you are a huge fan of the genre.
