Well, it took me a coupla decades to catch up to seeing this--and it was worth the wait.
I had a doubt or two in the first 20 minutes or so, as Lindsay Lohan, one of my favorite young performers, seemed at first a little too convincing as the troubled daughter. Also--my being of the Boomer generation (no, we're not all dead) I thought I'd quickly tire of the music portions of the story.
But when the switch took place, Lohan's talent took off, full speed ahead--as did Jamie Lee Curtis'. They're both so good portraying mother-and-daughter-at-odds that they're irresistible when they become each other. (The music portions didn't scare off this old Boomer either.) It's neatly packaged with a good supporting cast, a smart script and direction. I ended up buying it. It's a keeper, so if you haven't seen it--remedy that!
