Look, yes it's low budget, but it has a charm to it. I can appreciate the effort that was put into this. May not look like much, but there definitely was.
People can be harsh with their judgements, so I will say no, the acting is not terrible, realistically. I mean come on, there are waaay worse movies for bad acting out there. At least their was real ambition behind these actors.
Some reviews say the dialogue is bad. I didn't think it was. It was cringy at times, and I wish they didn't say "babe" as much, but it wasn't hard to listen to.
Some parts of the movie have really professional looking shots, yet it is balanced out with home-made looking shots - but honestly, watch this movie in black and white, and the quality goes up. It helps make the movie more artsy. I swear, b&w makes everything look better.
The music is unique. I get the vibe.
But lets get real people, Lindsay was pretty great in this. She held the film together. I really enjoy her acting, and she had some great moments in this (crying scenes in particular). Lindsay held her own, and I thought it was a great role to see her play.
So in conclusion, if you're a Lohan fan, I think you'll enjoy it. It's really not as bad as people make it out to be. There's so much worse.
