I only watched this to determine whether I still had a crush on Lindsay Lohan. I do not. (Sad face.) I do, however, still have a big crush on Janeane Garofalo. (Happy face.)
What is that old adage? Youth is wasted on
the young. That phrase seems to spring to
mind when I see this troubled young person.
She was so charming as a young teenager -
indeed she still is quite charismatic. But
she looks squandered for lack of a better
word. Like she is running through all of
those things you lose when you aren't young
anymore. Sigh.
How about them casting Kevin Covais as the sniveling little assistant kid? I was like "Wait a minute, isn't that Chicken Little from American Idol season 6?? Indeed it was. Weird.
I had to change the channel when Lindsay Lohan's character was promoted to Associate Editor and promptly:
- informed that her income would be way higher than a secretary's (that should be executive assistant!)
-given an office (HA!)
-with a window (HA! HA!)
-and an assistant (HA! HA! HA!)
-yet NO COMPUTER on which to procure a bad case of carpal tunnel syndrome.
I mean, I know this is the movies, but for this associate editor at a publishing firm (who is typing this in a cube), that was just too much.
"I can tell that you're kind of straight." Hahaha! SamRo knows! BTW, I've been to birthing classes and it was very technical- the stuff we WANTED and NEEDED to know...epidural, forceps, labor, pain relief and general health and well being for Mom and baby. There was no, "Whisper something to your partenr!" And if it was, ugh! I would have left! Mind you, if some people dig that, that is cool with me. But I just want the facts! How much will it hurt? What happens if there is a complication? That sort of thing.
Pregnant? More like preg-not! Lindsay Lohan? More like Lindsay DOH-han. Acting? More like crap-ting! Labor Pains? More like-- oh wait, I guess that one's okay.
I loved that the moral of the movie was essentially "your life will be so much better when you're pregnant." She got a better job, more money, more friends, a guy fell for her. Apparently getting pregnant will solve all of my problems.
This movie was awkward as hell. Especially the birth class scene. If you'd made me go through birthing class with my boss, I'd have thrown in the towel and screamed "the jig is up, you've got me," and walked right out of the room.

I sat through the first 40 minutes and then I had to change it. It was terrible.

Her acting seems about the same as it was in Mean Girls, but this movie is filmed kind of like an after school special.

Oy, I'm cringing just thinking about that scene.
