Life-Size (2000)

Wonderful character development!

not horrible nor great

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

This is still way ahead of Carrot Top or the animated Titanic film, but this still isn't quite good. It features a girl who tries to bring her mother back to life, but instead brings her doll to life. Yeah, it's kind of better and worse than it sounds. In the first thirty minutes, I really was enjoying some of it. As it went on, it did get weaker. I guess it's just because it's weird that this film about a doll coming to life has all this talk about death and moving on. I mean, I know the intentions are good but it was just so weird how they set it up. I guess I could compare it to something like "The Odd Life Of Timothy Green". It's a movie that tries to be sincere but doesn't really know how to be serious with its silly premise.I think the movie could have worked a lot more if it had more jokes. I mean, it should have been more light hearted. I do admit that the acting isn't bad. Lindsay Lohan is a fairly good actress and she actually does act pretty realistically to this situation. I remember back when I read Disney Adventures comics and how they always promoted Disney Channel original movies. It's hard to say whether they're at least better than their direct-to-video sequels, but they might be slightly. At least they don't follow up a perfectly good movie. This is nostalgic in a weird way. They have in fact made better movies like this, so I say you can skip it. But hey, Tyra Banks isn't that bad of an actress! It's better than "High School Musical", but not by much. **

Lindsay Lohan was cute as a kid and as a teen, but personally, I didn't think she was that good. As she grew up, I think she became a better actress. Life-Size is probably above average. I used to hate it and think it was really lame, bad plot, blah, blah, blah, but after reading all the comments on the first page, it really got me thinking. The plot IS original yet simple. Tyra Banks DID do a fantastic job as Eve. The movie WAS pretty funny. Now I've realized that the movie was good and the actors all did a good job.

i only really watched this film because i was on holiday in boring Yorkshire with nothing to do what so ever. also it had Lindsay Lohan in, one of my top favourite actresses so i thought what the hell. i was pleasantly surprised though as i really enjoyed the film. at first i thought OK a doll comes to life how gay. in fact it was really cool and Lindsay played a totally lovable character. the actress that played the doll was really good too and her and Lindsay worked well together to produce an excellent film. i didn't really like the end though as i thought it would have been much better if she hadn't gone back to Sunnyvale but had stayed and married Casey's dad. that would have been much cuter. i'd recommend anyone to watch this film, i think the family would enjoy it- well maybe not the dads!

OK, I was bored and there was nothing on at 10pm, only thing was Life Size. I swear, it was the STUPIDEST movie ever-wait, i've seen worse- and Lindsay Lohan did a horrible job acting. Everyone did a horrible job acting, and the story did not make any sense at all. I don't realize how Casey tried to "resurect" her mother with a spell and accidentally gave her doll a human life. Huh? Tyra Banks was OK, but shouldn't have done it- someone else smaller in fame should have. And after seeing Parent Trap, I would have expected much, much more from Lindsay. Basically, never watch this movie because it wastes time. A LOT of time.
