The reviews are in for Lifetime’s long-awaited, Lindsay Lohan-starring movie “Liz and Dick” -- the story of the love affair between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton -- and it's not pretty. In fact, some say that it’s so bad that it’s unintentionally hilarious.
The Hollywood Reporter called Lohan’s performance “woeful… from start to finish,” and that the film “gets worse as it goes on,” making it an “instant classic of unintentional hilarity.” Entertainment Weekly said that “Taylor and Burton deserved better,” and that Lindsay should have “stepped up her game.”
Others were more kind, with the New York Post describing the exploits of the Hollywood legends as “more fun to watch than the exploits of today's orchestrated star pairings.” And while the unintentional comedy of “Liz and Dick” has been mentioned in many reviews, Salon have said that there is “nothing “unintentional” about it,” explaining that it “is, after all, a Lifetime movie, a camp genre unto itself.” Will you be tuning in to “Liz and Dick?”

+18How could they have let a washed out drug addict play Elizabeth Taylor? I would be rolling in my grave if I was Liz
I do love campy movies that are so bad they're good...but usually in a different genre.
It was pretty bad unless Taylor was a horrible actress. If she was, then she played the part well.
I can't stand stupid. I want nothing to do with this druggie and her poor acting.
