    love lindsay but i hated this movie so much 😭😭 like you know when youre seeing someone lie in a movie and you just know that they will get exposed later, and youre cringing at the screen because you know the secondhand embarrassment is coming? this was that feeling but as a full movie

      Jesus Christ Superstar was the play they did in Saved! starring Jenna Malone that came out in the same year. Could be where the confusion comes from.

    My questions for the movie
    1. Why did Carla initially care about Lola? The only part of her worth caring was far later in the movie
    2. Explain to me why Lola and sam are a decent match aside from being a boy her age
    3. What makes Carla a mean girl? If making snarky comments is it then my friendship were all mean girls
    4. Why was Lola not an anti-hero? Would have been such a better plot
    5. Why does Lola being "exposed" matter? Not like she is gonna face consequences

    • @sassygrilledcheese
      @sassygrilledcheese  4 місяці тому +7

      Exactly. The plot just fell completely flat and there was a huge lack of character development. I think they finished Lola’s character arc pretty well (could have been better) but Carla was a huge missed opportunity. Her villain attempts are minor inconveniences at best. And she just fell in a fountain at the end … like???? Edit: oh and Sam was useless, I stand by that lol

    • @sassygrilledcheese
      @sassygrilledcheese  4 місяці тому +2

      I think from my perspective she learned that she didn't need to keep portraying the persona of who "Lola" was supposed to be when she's always been Lola and never needed to lie. I agree though, they could have done more.

      as for number 1, it’s just that lola was a pretty new student. she was “competition” for people’s attention. carla wanted to be more popular and more liked, and even if there was nothing particularly special about lola, people are always going to look at something new more than something that’s always been there.

    I grew up on Lindsay movies and loved them all. However, this was always the one exception. I literally owned it on DVD but for some reason, this movie confused me SO much that couldn’t get through it. It seems straight forward enough but even as an adult I’m like “wah?” 😂

  • @EnchantedEssays

    Pygmalion is the play in this because like most plays within a play (or films within a film), it vaguely mirrors the story. It's also about a character creating a new image for herself based on lies to transform her social status. My issue is with the fact that they modernised it. My guess is that they originally wanted to do the musical version, My Fair Lady (or maybe it was that in the book- I think this film was based on a book) but Disney couldn't be bothered to pay to use it, so they created their own modern musical of it.
    I remember watching this once with my mum. I was in my teens and old enough to think "Ugh, a Disney teen movie?" but I think I enjoyed it regardless, mainly because of the old movie references. I remember that it reminded me of Tracy Beaker, a kids drama series that was popular when I was going up, because the main character was also a teenage pathological liar and it had animated dream sequences.
    Great video! I really enjoyed it!

    • @sassygrilledcheese
      @sassygrilledcheese  Рік тому +6

      Yea I had a whole tangent about them choosing pygmalion but cut some of that out. I should have worded it correctly - I knew why they chose the show (only because I had to google what the play was about) but if they were going to change it completely anyways and make it a musical to sell CD’s I don’t know why they didn’t just make up a show.
      Also, Lola agrees with you ;) she mentioned wanting to stick to the classic show during the locker room scene.
      Thanks for watching!

    Also the boyfriend had a more active role and didn’t look like a Generic Movie Hot Guy… I think he had long hair and some kind of hippy/grunge thing going on. The plot was basically the same though
