Lindsay Lohan’s casting as Elizabeth Taylor in Lifetime’s “Liz & Dick” was controversial from the start.
The movie premiered Sunday and was intended as a comeback role for Lohan.
“You just ended your first marriage?”
“Oh, who’s counting?”
But reaction to the flick was less than favorable.
WHDH: “Critics say the film is boring and they say Lohan did not do a good job of depicting the actress.”
On Twitter especially, the critics were harsh.
One user tweeted, “TERRIBLE movie. I could have swallowed a whole bottle of White Diamonds and better channeled Liz.”
And another viewer writing, “its like Paris Hilton playing Marilyn Monroe”
Professional critics were no kinder — with The New York Times’ Alessandra Stanley calling it “laughable” — and Hollywood Reporter’s Tim Goodman declaring it “spectacularly bad.”
But the star herself was positive on Twitter, telling one fan:
“2 get 2 feel like 1 of the most amazing women in the world was a thrill all around & wearing the jewels wasn't bad!”
