Trivia

While everyone else would rehearse for a scene, Lindsay Lohan would sit in a corner and a stand-in would do her scene with the other principal actors. Then, when film rolled, Lohan would saunter over and repeatedly flub her lines after which she'd often throw a fit and someone had to console her and lead her away. See more »

Goofs

Backstage, when Damon Phillips reminds Jake Hardin that Phillips had told him "not to play that song," the film is backwards. Phillips shakes hands with his left hand and the stripes in his tie go down and to the right instead of down and to the left. See more »

Living the Lindsay Dream
14 February 2009 | by (Toronto, Ontario) – See all my reviews

Lindsay being herself.

That's basically the movie.

It's not a far stretch for a girl who has everything to be a girl who has everything.

Sure, there may be a little setback on occasion and some small mishaps...but it won't last long...and once again it's back to the girl who has everything.

So...if you like your sugar sweet, sappy and loaded with color and flavor to blind you from the real world...you'll enjoy this movie about a young girl who lives in a penthouse apartment in downtown New York City and has the world revolve around her.

A minor twist in the plot happens, she loses her luck...ooops, but she's a pretty girl in New York City and she's made it big time in the fashion/advertising/entertainment world...so really...how long can it last? It's a good date movie for those 16 year old boys who want to impress their new 14 year old girlfriends.

Anybody older should maybe look for something a little less Lindsay.

Because don't you know it...all spunky red haired, blue eyed, perky smiley face girls live in a $4000 a month penthouse, work in a well to do advertising/pr firm and make the deal of the decade before they even reach 25 years old and never have to struggle.

Even her friends live in nice apartments in New York City...far from the deep violent suburbs of the Bronx or Queens or Brooklyn...and all under the ages of 25...ain't that a surprise!

How dare anybody in New York City under 25 ever live in an apartment that doesn't cost less than $3000 a month? It would be so unfair to them...

And don't you know it...every apartment overlooks the river or Central Park and has a doorman and posh furniture.

F*CK ME...I wish I was a 21 year old girl in NYC...my life would be made.

Oops, but sadly...I am not Lindsay.

I guess I'll have to go back to my real world life and pay bills, wash dishes in a semi dirty kitchen and ride public transit while actually having to go to work in a real job where a smile and wave just doesn't cut the task.

When you want to escape from real life...watch a Lindsay Lohan movie and help her earn $15 million dollars a movie...

When you want real entertainment...watch something without her.

Until then - keep living the Lindsay dream.
