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. -

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.

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.
