    The film wasn't much, but her performance in Just My Luck was fairly adequate. She was likable and realistic, in an anti-plastic good girl kind-of-way that's so prevalent and popular today (usually to contrast with the "bad girl" type. Even Lindsay's Mean Girls performance wasn't so saccharine)
    I Know Who Killed Me is so grossly underrated. The Razzie nomination is only symbolic of the awards itself, certain aspects of the film (gruesome horror, and the fact one of her characters is a stripper) and her reputation at the time (It was released in the midst of a horrible period. On the flip side, that horrible period only contributed to her performance..) Her performance is very decent, even above average considering she wasn't even 21 yet. Both that film and Georgia Rule (and Bobby, Chapter 27, A Prairie Home Companion, The Canyons, The Parent Trap, Freaky Friday, even Life-Size..) show what she is capable of.

      She was quite good on A Prairie Home Companion. I think she has potential if she can stay focused and pick good roles.

        Rachel mcadams did just fine. She was able to shake her Hot Chick and Regina George image fairly quickly.
        Lohan not so much. And she was horrendous in Nist my luck. Wooden performance.

          Lots of child actors have gone on to do amazing thingsJodie Foster, Leonardo DiCaprio, Drew Barrymore, Christian Bale, Ethan Hawke, Natalie Portman, Neil Patrick Harris, Anna Paquin, Seth Green, Jason Bateman, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Hayden Paintierre (sp?), Tina Majorino, Ron Howardtons! I think some have had trouble transitioning, but many have done very well. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with having a stable homelife. Lindsay's parents have been a hot mess for a very long time. Her dad was in jail while she filmed The Parent Trap! I do feel sorry for her because she doesn't have anyone around her who is truthful & supportive. Oprah tried.that was a trainwreck.

            You obviously didn't watch A prairie home companion, Georgia Rule, Chapter 27, The canyons and Bobby. None of these are amazing films but she did give good and some great performances. I never saw Mean girls as a great performance.

              Yes, she a good, legitimate actress (that Elizabeth Taylor TV movie notwitstanding) but her lengthy former child star meltdown is sadly what most people know her for.

                  Every actor gives a terrible performance one day or another including the greatest such as Travolta, Robert Deniro, Gary Oldman, Will Smith, Halle Berry, Tommy Lee Jones .. The liz and dick thing was catastrophe, that's for sure.

                    Lindsay Lohan does have talent, whether you like it or not. It makes me sad that people are so delusional to think she can't act.

                        False. You've obviously never seen her other movies, troll. One bad performance doesn't make you a bad actor.

                          problem is that you just dont know acting, probably think any girl with big boobs is a good actress.

                                  She was seriously good looking when she was early 20s. Seems many chicks just can't understand that for some reason.

                                    oh she'll probably be considered the next Julia roberts. In a few years you'll ask where its at and they'll just say it was her.

                                          I feel you here. I'm in minority but I think she is a great actress BUT she is soooo DUMB in addition! I still hope she'll get some decent roles in the future
