Tyra Banks and Lindsay Lohan in Life-Size (2000)

11-year-old Casey is despondent after her mother's death. As she and her father Ben drift apart, she finds a book of magic spells and tries to use one to bring her mother back to life. But the plan backfires and she finds that she's animated Eve, a fashion-plate dress-up doll. Eve is excited to be both alive and nearly six feet tall, but she has much to learn about living in the real world--and Casey doesn't think she has the desire or the patience to teach her. —Lesley

Trivia
The toy store in the movie is named Kaboodles. They didn't change the store name for the movie; they actually filmed at a toy store named Kaboodles near Point Grey in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Goofs
When Eve is sitting at the desk in the office, the man behind her is leaning over a desk talking to a woman, then gives the woman a file, then turns and walks towards Eve while looking at her, and walks away. Then every time the camera shows Eve again, the man in the background repeats the same action several times.

expected more Lohan

Casey Stuart (Lindsay Lohan) is a tough little football player. After her dad Ben (Jere Burns) missed her football game, she tries a resurrection spell to bring back her dead mother. Ben's girlfriend Drew McDonald buys her a doll Eve (Tyra Banks) which gets accidentally animated with her spell.

I expected more Lohan but this is really Tyra Banks' movie. She has many solo section at Ben's office. I also don't feel the chemistry between her and Ben. This should be a Casey and Eve buddy comedy. Together, Casey can deal with the lost of her mother and Eve can learn to be human. That's the best part of this movie. The comedy potential is endless. Their relationship could feed into Ben's feelings for Eve. Tyra Banks is not good enough as a comedic lead. She has some good sass but her anger is ill-fitting for the role. It is possible that they didn't see Lohan as the star but she's already done The Parent Trap. This should be Casey's story and not Eve's.
