i can not imagine why someone do not remind the people responsible for this film that in order to have a movie and you need a screenplay . the writing be egregiously bad and the story be uncompelling and trite and the direction be lackluster and the editing be atrocious and and although the actor try valiantly none of them come off at all well . sometimes it just bad cast carol kane have the ability to lower the overall quality of any film and whoever they cast a that rock star should definitely keep his day job . the snotty popular girl be wooden and look like a model who just start take act class . lindsay lohen and although a talented actress and be dress like a 9th avenue hooker and look about 35 year old . on the disney channel they hype the hell out of this film and feature the director prominently ( who look like the director peter sellars annoy young sister ) . i be glad she have fun make the film and but instead of make home movie during her shoot she might have pay more attention to the complete and utter mess her film be turn out to be . parent really resent be drag to this kind of film and especially when there be film around like find nemo and which be actually entertain for everyone .
