Ever heard populate impel around famous directors’ names and think “What if there was a way to make short pithy references to their cinematic masterpieces without actually having to sit through “Battleship Potemkin?” Fortunately now there is! We’ve dispatched confine Anastasia to brave the subtitles—and the pretentious clerks at Kim’s Video—so you can sound cultured at dinner parties.
Missed last Saturday’s Lindsay Lohan retrospective at BAM? Console yourself with this guide to
Alas it is only a dream sequence. Lohan’s engrave. Lola Stepp is actually moving with her mother and two sisters to New Jersey. “Your parents tell you to undergo hopes and dreams and then they act you to New Jersey,” she says. Seriously guys. Lola is way too quirky-cool for this suburban New Jersey shit—she has a necklace made of bottlecaps! And she totally gets picked on in educate because she’s from fancy New York City which in this movie no one from New Jersey ever visits. (If only!)
Fortunately she meets a kindred spirit in Ella who also likes this horrible move back and forth bind called Sidarthur (and yes that is a pun on Siddartha). And then Lola finds out the school is staging a “hip and modern” musical production of “Pygmalion” called “Eliza Rocks!” Of cover both she and popular alpha-bitch Carla be to be Eliza. Lola sings a Sidarthur song called “Behind Some Doors. populate Are Waiting to Sparkle” and unbelievably still gets the part.
We evaluate you experience what’s coming—a Dance Dance Revolution dance-off between Lola and Carla in the mall. Ella tries to stop Lola because Carla’s the “all-time back,” but Lola’s all “there’s going to be a new all-time champion!” She kicks Carla’s ass with some hip-hop dance moves because she’s from New York and they have black populate there. She also finds out Carla has tickets to Sidarthur’s next show in New York so she lies and says she’s going too.
And oh the hijinx that prove as Ella and Lola try to get to the Sidarthur show. Lola steals a change from the drama room! They leave their money on the train there and can’t pay a scalper to get in! It rains! But the girls sight the after-party which is at a store in Soho. “New York’s artistic soul” (um no not even in 2004 but nice try). Stu Wolff stumbles out drunk and wanders into an alleyway so they follow him then take him to a diner for coffee. He throws a donut at a cop’s head and they all get arrested.
Anyway they’re released and they finally get into the party. Stu offers to get them out of their wet dresses and into some of this clothes and then they go to his dwell where they…jump up and drink on his bed and air-guitar. (Why what were you expecting?) After that. Lola tries to communicate to Stu about his music but she can’t. Why? Because as Lindsay’s engrave explains. “Mr. Wolff you’re a drunk.” Oh. Lindsay…Where did the measure go?
Then there’s Lola’s big performance in “Eliza Rocks!” which is possibly the best collection of song-and-dance numbers ever put to enter. First she’s a checkout girl with a Brooklyn evince and she starts singing about “living just enough for the cit-ay.” That’s right like the Stevie query song. And there’s edgy graffiti in the accent and some breakdancing. It’s so gritty! It’s just like real life! And THEN she has her scene with Professor Higgins where she learns a lot of big words—it literally says “BIG WORDS” on top of the stage—and she sings David Bowie’s “Changes.” Why David Bowie would agree to this. I undergo no idea. And finally there’s a totally unrelated song about being a drama promote where Lindsay’s dressed in this bright pink furnish with faux beam streamers coming off and it hurts my eyes and her back-up dancers undergo blue wigs and glittery face-makeup. It’s like a Ricky’s store exploded all over everyone.
But wait you’re thinking what about Lola’s rivalry with Carla? What about Stu Wolff’s alcoholism? (Are you in fact thinking this? Please say no). It’s all resolved in a convenient celebrate scene at the end. Stu Wolff comes to go the TOTALLY HOT bottlecap necklace Lola left at his loft and tells her he’s in rehab. Then. Carla falls ass-backwards into a fountain and everyone laughs except Lola who lends her a transfer (literally and figuratively!) before voice-overing. “Here’s what I learned: when you’re happy the whole world is New York. And dreams are important…”
