Lindsay Lohan - Life-Size

Lindsay LohanLindsay Lohan... Life-Size film is a family comic fantasy starring Lindsay Lohan and Tyra Banks in a tale of a young girl's Eve Doll (somewhat like Barbie) that is transformed into a living Perfect Woman. Life-Size is a 2000 made-for-TV film directed by Mark Rosman and originally premiered on ABC. It was released to DVD in the same year.

The tagline for the film was "She was a perfect doll. Now she's the real thing.".

Directed by Mark Rosman. Produced by Fitch Cady. Written by Mark Rosman(teleplay), Stephanie Moore (teleplay), Stephanie Moore (story). Starring Lindsay Lohan, Tyra Banks, Jere Burns. Distributed by ABC. Release date(s) March 5, 2000. Running time 101 min. Country United States. Language English.

Unhappy and lonely after her mother's death, Casey (Lindsay Lohan) attempts to resurrect her mother, but a minor mishap changes the results of her spell and brings an unwanted doll named Eve (Tyra Banks) to life instead. Eve is elated when she first encounters the smells and flavors of real life, but is shocked to realize that she's not the perfect role model she's always considered herself to be. Tyra BankCasey initially despises Eve--she never wanted this doll in the first place and now she's ruined her chances of bringing her mother back to life. But as Eve grows, she brings out the best in Casey, encouraging her to renew old friendships and spurring personal growth and healing. Even Casey's father (Jere Burns) rises above his grief and builds a better relationship with his daughter as a result of his interaction with Eve. This is an entertaining, 89-minute video that juxtaposes the stresses and disappointments of the real world, with their accompanying potential for personal growth, against what initially appears to be a stereotypically idyllic world. What makes the movie powerful is its suggestion that that ideal world is inherently flawed. Performances by Lindsay Lohan (The Parent Trap), supermodel Tyra Banks (Higher Learning), and Jere Burns (television's Something So Right) are very good. The story, while based on a fairly unreal premise, successfully explores some very real issues facing kids today.

Lindsay Lohan and Tyra...We really enjoyed the movie. Tyra Banks surprised with her singing. We kept singing Eve's theme for days after we saw the movie. Cool! Cute. Fresh. And filled with moral lessons to parents!!! Worth buying it.
