One of my all time favorites.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Holy plastic surgery, Lindsay doesn't even look like the same girl, it's sad. I don't know if it's that Lindsay is a terrible actor, or Elizabeth was a terrible person but this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I'm all for following your heart but why was he with her? Elizabeth Taylor seemed so pathetic and talentless. I really hope it wasn't this bad. The only saving grace of this movie is Grant Bowler. He encompassed Richard so much it was amazing! I'd like to say it's age and experience that did it but I think it's more just ability. Anyone would've been a better Liz than who they chose. That said maybe it's the perfect choice because they're both divas, and remarkably unattractive. I feel sorry for her children, what mother would put her man of the month over her children. 4 divorces by the time she was 29, why did Hollywood put up with her? If you want to watch a Grant movie, than watch it, otherwise don't waste your time

I'm exhausted from watching this trash so here's my honest opinion: 1) Lindsay Lohan does not work as Liz Taylor. Her gravelly voice is nothing like Taylor's, her delivery is lifeless, and she sleepwalks clumsily through the role. She comes across as a teenage girl playing dress up rather than an actress inhibiting a role.2)I'll give Grant Bowler points for putting forth effort and actually acting.3) The script is an episodic mess, with Lohan and Bowler drinking, arguing, and having sex ad nauseum. The writers paint Taylor and Burton as overgrown brats, obsessed with themselves so much that it's hard to believe they love each other at all. The relationship here seems based on lust more than any spiritual or emotional connection. Even if that was intended by the writers (which I doubt considering the sentimental epilogue), it's still done badly.4) Taylor and Burton's romance deserves better. This is a pathetic soap opera. Skip.

It's hard to please everyone in biopics because everyone compares the actress to the real person and everyone comes out short. It's impossible to look and sound enough like the real person. In this movie, Lindsay Lohan looks like Liz quite often especially her eyes and profile but her accent is Lindsay Lohan. If she had tried to get Liz's diction it would have made a lot of difference. Her voice is childish instead of womanly. Grant Bowler sounds like Richard Burton but is too lean looking. Needed to gain some weight for the role and look more drunk. But in the end it's all quite fun to watch. No one would have been an exact match anyway.The story shown is fun to watch and it is interesting from beginning to end. The ups and downs of their romance make up most of the story. Liked the different European backdrops and settings (even if they were fake). Wish it could have been longer about the second time they got married.

This movie is for those 13 and up. I had high hopes for this film, Liz and Dick. I was a bit disappointed. I don't think that Lindsay Lohan was a good Elizabeth Taylor, but for those who have never seen Elizabeth Taylor, it did work superficially. I do think that Grant Bowler did a better job playing Richard Burton than Lindsay did playing Liz. But it would be difficult to play two of Hollywood's royalty, let alone royalty couples. One cannot expect to see Liz Taylor and Richard Burton to play themselves. One would find great fault with anyone playing such icons of Hollywood splendor. I think enough attempt was made to get the 'essence' of personality on screen to warrant an evening of entertainment. Three thumbs up.
