Liz & Dick: Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton Movie

THE LOVE LIFE OF ELIZABETH TAYLOR AND RICHARD BURTON

Liz & Dick celebrates the scandal and the marriage of the century. It tells the rocky story of the love between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. The story was written by Christopher Monger and stars Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor and Grant Bowler as Richard Burton and premiered as a made-for-television movie on Lifetime on November 25, 2012.

Despite a story that still mesmerizes people today, the movie was not so warmly received. I watched it and would have to agree with the majority of comments that it was not a very successful movie. However, if you are a big fan of either Taylor or Burton, you might want to give it a watch anyway...

REVIEWS OF LIZ & DICK 

The Hollywood Reporter says that "it should come as no great surprise that Lifetime’s Liz & Dick movie starring Lindsay Lohan is spectacularly bad. After all, it’s Lohan, more memorable in the tabloids than she ever was as an actress.

On Huff Post, Maureen Ryan says, "Oh Lord, What Have They Done?" It's easy to come up with a list of a few things a movie about Elizabeth Taylor-Richard Burton should do and this movie does absolutely none of these things. All it really does is make you sad about what's become of Lindsay Lohan.

The New Yorker says that Lohan is now in the unenviable position of the classic cartoon character who dashes over the edge of the cliff and stays in midair, spinning her legs madly but not falling, and, of all things, the flimsy and inadequate platform called “Liz and Dick”

Finally, Emma G Keller says on The Guardian that Lohan made this Taylor biopic her own elaborating by saying Lindsay Lohan's performance as Elizabeth Taylor was universally panned, but it saw art imitate life to perfection.
