A miscast Lindsay Lohan took a headfirst dive into a project that was doomed from the beginning. “Liz & Dick,” a dull, melodramatic Elizabeth Taylor biopic, featured the once-troubled actress grasping for any inkling of her childhood career amid cheap dialogue, laughable costumes and forced chemistry. With a valiant but mostly subpar effort, Lohan fails to capture any essence of Taylor’s persona or even an ounce of passion from her widely publicized love affair with Richard Burton. After hours of fast-paced bottle throwing, drinking, crying, sex and more bottle throwing, viewers are left confused, bored and detached. The Lifetime creation dawdles aimlessly until its close and embarrasses all those involved. To no one’s surprise, Lohan and Lifetime delivered exactly what was expected – an abysmal failure.
