I tuned into SNL last night for the first time in I don’t know how long to see how Lindsay Lohan would fair in her first acting slot since her tragic spiral into drugs and alcohol. Maybe I have finally gotten too old for SNL. It seemed to be so good when I was a kid who would stay up late to watch it against my parents wishes. Or it jumped the shark over a decade ago when I stopped caring that I would miss it by going out. Nevertheless, I gave it my best shot and despite not recognizing many people in the cast I hoped to be entertained.You would think that with a week to learn lines, and as pumped up for the show as Lindsay was she would have known her stuff at least as well, if not better than the rest of the cast. Sadly, that was not the case. The opening monologue reminded me of the Disney movie, Cinderella when the mice and the birds scramble around trying to finish making Cinderella’s dress for the ball. It was like nothing was ready and we were watching Kenan Thompson, Kristen Wiig and Jimmy Fallon flit around her like Cinderella’s birds trying to make last minute adjustments. This made it all the more odd when the Real Housewives of Disney bit came on just afterwards. The RHOD skit was the best segment on the show with the SNL ladies doing a great job and Lindsay having the benefit of unlimited reshooting. The rest of the segments, or at least the ones I saw before nodding off, consisted of Lindsay stammering through her lines despite reading every word off cue cards. How is it possible that she managed not to memorize anything? Hasn’t she spent the last few years doing lines? Did any of y’all watch this sad attempt at a comeback? Was it just me or was it pretty awful?
I did watch Lindsay on SNL, I thought she did a very good job, for her first time back. We need to rally around this young lady and pray that she can move forward in her life. We all can be just a second away, from our lives becoming a disaster.So let's pray, that she will continue to stay on track and that her life will be restored. God Bless you Lindsay.
I thought she did pretty good!
Pretty good isn't good enough when there are literally THOUSANDS of young DRUG FREE girls out there wanting a chance to break into showbiz. Shame on her handlers for not making sure she was spot on for this performance. I wish nothing bad on this young woman but she had more than her chance. Now move on and run a small boutique with your crack-face.WD
Lets cut the shit. Lindsay was horrible. Every single host reads off the cue cards, however Lindsay made it SO OBVIOUS! In the scared straight sketch she basically did the entire scene reading off the cards. It was so awkward. And she flubbed so many lines. I dont know what it was but it was bad.
I thought she did an ok job and I'm glad to see some show giving her a chance. I just hope she gets it together and makes a great come back like Robert Downey Jr. did. If she gets with the right people and cut the drugs out of her life she can be successful.
