A Very Good Performance from Lindsay Lohan

The script wasn't Shakespeare but she handled the comedy and the drama very well and was very believable in the role and wasn't stiff at all.

It's a shame that Lohan's public battles with her personal demons have gotten in the way in what should have been a very acclaimed and successful career by now. But she hasn't gotten in trouble in two years now and hopefully her good behavior will stick and she'll re-earn the public's trust and respect.

AGREED!

[–] AmbiguousLee 16 years ago

I completely agree.

I didn't think the script was terrible for what it was, sure it lagged in some spots, but was overall a typical (and enjoyable) simple light comedy.

Lindsay did a fantastic job in her role and I really hope she will continue getting more work. There's just something likable about her.

Anyone who disagrees must live a sad life because most things in this world won't live up to their standards.

I like LiLo. But I think she looked kinda annoyed in this. And she usually looks cute and clumsy.

People are making this movie out to be one of the worst films ever to made when its far from it; Lindsay Lohan did a very good job in this film, and this was her best movie since Herbie.

I enjoyed this movie and Lohan is very spontaneous. A job well done on her part.

Movies aren't real.It's take 22. The girl's bored, the guy's gay.It's celluloid propaganda.

I personally think that Lindsay Lohan did a amazing job in this and a lot of people will say they don't like it because of Lindsay behavior in real life.

I agree. She is a good actress, but her personal life overshadows that. I thought this movie was fun.

Enid:Oh my God. He just ordered a giant glass of milk.
Josh:That's a vanilla milkshake.

She is such a talented girl, I hope she works past her demons and can get her career on track again.

The thing with Lindsay Lohan is she's actually a pretty decent actress, but it comes second to her personal life and the ongoing drama in the press. It's a shame because people will completely write off a film because Lindsay Lohan is in it, Labor Pains included. Some people got put off because it went straight to TV, but it's actually a pretty cool film. Look at I Know Who Killed Me. Sure, the film isn't the greatest, but it also wasn't as bad as it was made out to be, and definitely didn't deserve all those Raspberry awards. Most of the hatred and criticsm was purely because of Lindsay and what was happening to her at the time.
