Zum Leben erweckt

Casey Stuart (Lindsay Lohan) is a tough little football player. After her dad Ben (Jere Burns) missed her football game, she tries a resurrection spell to bring back her dead mother. Ben's girlfriend Drew McDonald buys her a doll Eve (Tyra Banks) which gets accidentally animated with her spell.

I expected more Lohan but this is really Tyra Banks' movie. She has many solo section at Ben's office. I also don't feel the chemistry between her and Ben. This should be a Casey and Eve buddy comedy. Together, Casey can deal with the lost of her mother and Eve can learn to be human. That's the best part of this movie. The comedy potential is endless. Their relationship could feed into Ben's feelings for Eve. Tyra Banks is not good enough as a comedic lead. She has some good sass but her anger is ill-fitting for the role. It is possible that they didn't see Lohan as the star but she's already done The Parent Trap. This should be Casey's story and not Eve's.

The only reason I truly saw it was because of Lindsay Lohan. This movie was funny and really adorable, and Lindsay grew into quite a pretty young lady. With Tyra Banks in it I though the movie was going to be one big fashion shoot, but I was happily mistaken, because she could both act and sing well. Lindsay Lohan, of course, was perfect, and Jerry Burns did a great job as well. :)

I just saw this last night on "The Wonderful World of Disney". I thought it was going to be a dumb kiddy movie, but I was soon wrong. I loved it! My only question is this: Was Tyra Banks typecast? Think about it. A supermodel playing a Barbie doll? I guess it was good. Actually, I loved this movie!

At first glance I bet 90% of people would under estimate it. But I tell you, this is one heck of a film. It should have been put into theatres because it is SO much fun, and you can watch it with Family, friends, Anyone...and it NEVER gets boring! The comedy is everywhere. Jokes, gags, everything! It is so hilarious and you could seriously laugh through out the whole film. The acting was GREAT! It was clear and good. Finally the PLOT. Truly original! It is simple but the film is truly GREAT! Overall I give it 9/10. A bit of work here and there and the film could actually be PERFECT! RENT the film, actually, BUY the film because whenever your bored or feeling low, this film has enough comedy to make you feel better again. Small Budget, Big Power!

I think "Life Size" is a great movie. It's too bad that it is just a TV Movie and will not have copies of it sold in stores. I never would have known that Tyra Banks was such a great actress. She was excellent for the part of Eve. It's a great family movie and I hope that they decide to release a video of it in stores.
