Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

lisafordeay I just watched the movie Life Size online as I haven't seen this movie for years until today. The story is about a young girl called Casey(played by former child star Lindsay Lohan who made her debut back in 1998 with The Parent Trap) a timid young girl who is living with her father who happens to work in Business. Her mom passed away a long time ago and she is trying to bring her back from the dead. So Casey steals a book that can bring people back from the dead and on the eve of her birthday,her dad's girlfriend gives Casey an Eve doll which aren't as popular as they used to be.But when Casey's dad's girlfriend accidentally brushes Eve's doll as Casey was doing the Resurrection spell out of the book that she stole from the bookshop she ends up bringing her doll Eve to life. Now Eve(played by America's Next Top Model host Tyra Banks) is alive and well,and Casey is mortified when she sees Eve sleeping beside her the next day. Its up to Casey to get another book from the 1st book that she got and bring back Eve as a doll again before the 4th day or else Eve will be human forever.But does Casey have second thoughts? And will she become friends with her own barbie doll?Now I know what you are thinking this movie is so stupid,and your right it is very stupid and silly but for some strange odd reason I actually found myself enjoying it as I haven't seen it in a long time. Tyra and Lindsay were great in it,and I hate to say this but I always cry at the end of the movie where Eve has to go back to being a doll in the end and says to Casey that Sunnydale is where she belongs and that Casey is a great friend to have.If you are looking for a nice fantasy movie to watch or is a fan of Lindsay Lohan before she made all those mediocre films that she is doing nowadays then check it out.

nerdomatic10-937-667230 I'm just a tired old man, but I love Tyra Banks, so I watched "Life-Size" a few times when it was in rotation on the Disney Channel back in 2000. It's a very sweet-natured, well-made, deftly-acted fantasy with some startling cast choices. I'm a long-time sap for sentimentality and I loved this flick.The aforementioned Tyra is probably a crazy, conceited, difficult witch in real life, but here she plays an absolutely adorable, appealing, luminous character. Supermodels make a living by already fulfilling that illusion of portraying dolls come to life, so it could very well be that this is not such a terrible stretch for Miss Tyra. It's a nice touch that the Barbie clone "Eve" is played by a black woman, but with no attention called to her race. Tyra just cruises comfortably through her role, and she's funny and touching and sad in all the right places. She's Miss Perfect, with all her many careers and beautiful outfits and makeup. The humor comes in when she discovers that all her make-believe skills are non-existent in reality, but she determinedly soldiers on anyway. "Policewoman Eve" leaps in front of a speeding truck to save a fallen Lindsay Lohan, but it's pure luck that the driver has excellent brakes. "Homemaker Eve" just makes a terrible mess of the kitchen instead of whipping up a delicious meal. "Secretary Eve" looks fantastic in a business suit and a bun, but she can't type or operate office machinery. And so on.The other casting surprise is a very young Lindsay Lohan. She's about 13 or 14 here, and shows no signs of the horrible future that awaits her. She plays her part skillfully, and is impressive as a young girl who's understandably upset by her mother's death and her father's inability to supply the attention she wants and needs. The rest of the cast is likewise superb, and all the acting neatly fits into the light-hearted tone of this flick.Now, to the present. Tyra recently tweeted that a sequel is in the planning stages, and might be made later this year. I hope so, and I will definitely watch it if everything works out. Tyra herself will be right on the money. At 40, she doesn't look all that different from 26 or 27, and will easily make an awesome Eve. The other actors can still fit in just fine if the story includes a passage of time aspect. I highly doubt that Disney will hire Lindsay Lohan this time around. She has become way too unreliable and erratic, and might ruin the whole project. Another mid-20's actress could play Casey quite well without all the off-screen headaches. Anyway, the original "Life-Size" is a fun little movie that Disney has expertly aimed at children, but adults will also find plenty to entertain them if they just relax and let it carry them back to their own childhood for a couple hours.

Cutelizzy 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.

bob the moo Still hurting from her mother's death, Casey Stuart attempts to use a resurrection spell to bring her back to life. But when her Dad's new girlfriend brings a doll for Casey and moves things around in her room it causes the spell to be enacted on the doll instead. When Casey wakes up the next day she finds that Eve has become flesh and is worried that her father will find out and get her into trouble (although one would have thought that she would have been gutted by the fact that the spell worked and would have brought her mother back to life). Can she keep the whole thing a secret long enough to put things right?Aimed at the female pre-teen market, this film will likely miss even them as an audience because it isn't that good. It's not just that the plot is silly, it's more that it is all so basic and lazy. With a very simple plot, its left to Eve's "fish out of water" stuff to carry the majority of the film, sadly she is a terrible character and the laughs never come. Without these she is left standing as a rather unlikable airhead who only wants to party and shop, expects things to come easily to her and looks down on others from a pulpit of catchphrase ethics – in other words, the most annoying middle-class American teenager you could hope to meet. This annoying personae stops anything else moving forward – her relationship with Casey, with Casey's Dad and any interest that might have come from her Buzz Lightyear style revelations.The acting doesn't help. Personally I think Tyra Banks is gorgeous but a bit too perfect to be attractive, but I would have happily pushed her down stairs if I had to watch much more of her heartless delivery of platitudes and slogans. I get it that she is a doll, but she didn't have to play it as stiff and plastic as she did – not having any natural talent for comedy probably doesn't help either. By contrast Lohan is great – she is natural and quite engaging. Of course she is still a typical cute kid and a little bit grating but at least she has energy. Burns just seems bemused by the whole thing and sticks to the edges even when he is in scenes and nobody else in the support cast does anything or note.Overall this is a kids film but it still doesn't excuse how poor the character of Eve is. She loves shopping, dancing, smiling and regurgitating slogans in place of having her own opinion – maybe this does appeal to some sections of the audience but I personally never want to meet the ones that relate to Eve. This drags everything else down and leaves a basic and pointless film that will barely satisfy even the most spot-on target audience.
