Writing these reviews is social suicide…. But watching this one was definitely not…. (where the hell did that came from?)

The girl who used to play parent trap (but her father is still trap--- in jail!) comes back to the big screen with more freckles, fats and longer bloody hair (I didn’t say she’s fat, she just gained weight), together with the girls with the big eyes and the big boobs, the brunette bitch and the dumb blonde who clearly resembles Jessica Simpson (I didn’t say that Jessica was dumb she’s just stupid). And it was one hell of a party.

Caty (Lohan), just moved in from the watery lands of Africa, she thought her 12 years of wild life would ensure her that she can survive public high school---- she did, but not until she almost never did.

She meets the “homos”, got close with the “plastics”, became a part of the “plastics”, fell in love with Regina’s ex, got screwed by Regina, avenge her lost, screwed Regina’s life, screwed everyone’s life, became part of the Mathletes, and won as Spring Fling Queen, and finally, implied happily ever after ending (that is so fetch).

The first 30 minutes of this movie was a blast. It hits you and it hits you hard. It was funny, witty and bitchy. But after that, the humor slowly waned and it got a little boring and too serious, I almost thought it was another almost-have-been-but-never-quite-became but it ended pretty well, so it salvaged itself.

Lohan is just the prettiest girl in movies today, her charisma is undeniable, and unlike her so-called rival Hilary Duff (don’t get me wrong I love Hilary), she’s definitely a million miles away when it comes to acting. She delivers and she captivates. It’s impossible not to like her (although she did put on some pounds, spot her tummy) cuz she just makes you feel good. I just love her (that is so fetch!).

If you’re expecting to see a movie full of catfight and simple but heavy laughs, you’ll definitely dig this one. And if you’re a guy looking for boobs coming from all side of the screen, you’ll love this one. And if you’re a barkada planning to see a movie where everyone can just laugh their heads off, go see this one. And if you’re looking for a real romantic movie, full of quixotic sceneries and breathtaking kisses, it’s not this one; go see the prince and me.

*kill bill vol. 2 will be posted on Saturday, I am yet to see that one….
