Life-Size DVD

Flashback time! Remember Lindsay Lohan as a little tot in Life-Size with Tyra Banks?! We totally do! Lindsay could act so much better than Tyra. Still can!

Unhappy and lonely after her mother’s death, Casey (Lindsay Lohan) attempts to resurrect her mother, but a minor mishap changes the results of her spell and brings an unwanted doll named Eve (Tyra Banks) to life instead. Eve is elated when she first encounters the smells and flavors of real life, but is shocked to realize that she’s not the perfect role model she’s always considered herself to be. Casey initially despises Eve–she never wanted this doll in the first place and now she’s ruined her chances of bringing her mother back to life. But as Eve grows, she brings out the best in Casey, encouraging her to renew old friendships and spurring personal growth and healing. Even Casey’s father (Jere Burns) rises above his grief and builds a better relationship with his daughter as a result of his interaction with Eve. This is an entertaining, 89-minute video that juxtaposes the stresses and disappointments of the real world, with their accompanying potential for personal growth, against what initially appears to be a stereotypically idyllic world. What makes the movie powerful is its suggestion that that ideal world is inherently flawed. Performances by Lindsay Lohan (The Parent Trap), supermodel Tyra Banks (Higher Learning), and Jere Burns (television’s Something So Right) are very good. The story, while based on a fairly unreal premise, successfully explores some very real issues facing kids today. –Tami Horiuchi
