Life-Size

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.

At first glance I bet 90% of people would under estimate it. But I tell you, this is one heck of a film. It should have been put into theatres because it is SO much fun, and you can watch it with Family, friends, Anyone...and it NEVER gets boring! The comedy is everywhere. Jokes, gags, everything! It is so hilarious and you could seriously laugh through out the whole film. The acting was GREAT! It was clear and good. Finally the PLOT. Truly original! It is simple but the film is truly GREAT! Overall I give it 9/10. A bit of work here and there and the film could actually be PERFECT! RENT the film, actually, BUY the film because whenever your bored or feeling low, this film has enough comedy to make you feel better again. Small Budget, Big Power!

I've always loved Tyra Banks as a model and I loved her even more in this movie. She was adorable when she first came to life from being a doll and she showed some real emotions later when she learned what it was like to be human. The scene at the end of the football made me cry along with the characters. I know the plot has been done before, but I guess I'm a sucker for them. I also like "My Stepmother is an Alien" and the recent one on PAX where Kathy Ireland played Santa's daughter. I hope that Tyra Banks does more acting because she is very appealing.

I just saw this last night on "The Wonderful World of Disney". I thought it was going to be a dumb kiddy movie, but I was soon wrong. I loved it! My only question is this: Was Tyra Banks typecast? Think about it. A supermodel playing a Barbie doll? I guess it was good. Actually, I loved this movie!

I saw this in the video store and had to rent it. It is nice that there are some clean movies still out there - this certainly fits the bill! I was amazed at the actress selected to play Eve (Tyra Banks). She was perfect to play the part of a real "living Barbie", especially with her looks (those eyes!), as well as the mannerisms you would expect from Barbie. If you wondered how Barbie would be if she came to life, this is a must see! Lindsay Lohan was well cast as the girl who brings "Eve" to life and does an excellent job as usual.
