Silly fun

Just my luck to go and see this.

Lohan is the lucky career girl who accidentally trades her good fortune with a wannabe rock manager.

Aimed at a young audience this movie is quite enjoyable but silly. Lohan is this decade's Haley Mills and plays the talky girl who never gets upset no matter what happens to her. And lots happen - getting arrested, punched in the face, rained on, cleaning toilets, and losing her job. This movie describes McFly as a cross between early Beatles and Blink-182 - more like a cross between Busted and Busted again.

Just my look is great viewing - for 12-year old girls.
