Friends say Lindsay Lohan wasn't prepared for the harsh criticism of her Lifetime movie "Liz & Dick." And instead of providing the career comeback the troubled star expected, her performance has left many wondering if she will ever be taken seriously as an actress again.
“Lindsay is devastated by the response to the film,” a close friend of the actress tells The Huffington Post. “She has got used to all the negative press around her personal life but this is the first time she has experienced it about her work. No matter how bad things were going for her personally, everyone would always agree that she was a great actress.”
The Hollywood Reporter compared the Lifetime drama to a "Saturday Night Live" skit. The New York Times accused the actress of “sleepwalking through scenes,” while Entertainment Weekly made fun of Lohan’s “frozen face” and “blank stare.”
“Lindsay has already read her own press,” one insider tells me. “She knew the script wasn't strong but thought she would bring the role of Elizabeth to life. This is particularly heartbreaking as her acting was the only thing in her life that she knew was real. Now she is doubting that, too.”
Lifetime and Lindsay’s spokesperson did not respond to calls for comment.

a bit OT but does anyone remember this gif? (omg)
bad times
"Why is everyone so hostile towards Lindsay Lohan? I personally consider her to be one of Hollywood most promising young starlets! Haven't any of you seen "The Parent Trap", "Freaky Friday" and "Mean Girls"? So maybe she's had the occasional misstep, but who among us didn't momentarily veer from the path when we were young? I say forgive her. This innocent and fresh-faced ingenue is ready to take TinselTown by storm!"
lmao
So maybe she's had the occasional misstep, but who among us didn't momentarily veer from the path when we were young?
And idk, I never lied to the cops, got arrested for a DUI or was constantly late to work.
GURL YOU IN MOTHERFUCKIN' ONTD, YOU BETTER CHECK YO'SELF.
For dinner I'm having popcorn and SCHADENFREUDE.
NO ONE could've saved this
However, this post's comments are killing me.
-She recited her lines like she was reading them off or had to really think about them so she didn't forget which made her emotion very fake.
-Too much squealing when she cried or laughed or was excited.
I wanted her to do well, but it didn't happen. Fell asleep after an hour and I wasn't really even tired.
