is this film actually a 4/10 or is it receieving hate for other reasons?


what is actually so horrible about this film? it looks fairly decent. im afraid that people who havent even seen the movie and are lindsay lohan haters are giving this movie 1/10 stars.

It's gone down to 3.9 (I lowered my rating from 2 to 1) because it's just awful. And, ha ha, you can't even give it a spoiler alert because of two things: Who cares how it ends, and it just ends. Lohan sounds like she has a stuffed up nose and the dialogue is just awful. It's a porn movie that is trying to disguise itself as ... something, I don't know what. The title belies it's alleged profundity, or perhaps refers to something in the porn industry. Rotten Tomatoes rates it at 15%, so all of us can't be wrong. The bottom line is: it's made for drive-ins where teenyboppers can go and make out under blankets, or gangs of teenage boys all smoked up can go "do something" when in actuality they're just looking for a movie with some skin.

Absolutely horrible movie!

It has flaws for sure but I liked it. Lohan gives a good performance (especially the pool scene) and it's pretty much a honest depiction of how the movie industry works in Los Angeles works.

It is a decent depiction of L.A and how it works. Lohan gives an amazing performance but her plastic surgery is extremely distracting at times.The rest of the cast if awful. The pace of the film is slow but I like it.
