I can forgive this schmarm in light of the enjoyable performances by Lohan and Pine.

But it is an occasionally entertaining, always fluffy teen romantic comedy with some moderately funny physical comedy by gadabout star Lindsay Lohan.

A totally predictable and competently made feelgood fantasy flick for females under 30. If you want an escape and rest your brain, try your luck

In fact, its just your average Lohan fare, but this time it marks the actress eventual coming of age with a tad more maturity than her past projects.
