I thought Lindsay Lohan did an excellent job in the movie and I am a huge Elizabeth Taylor fan. Since I was a child and saw Cleopatra I was completely impressed by her performance as well as her leading man I thought they did both Elizabeth and Richard justice. Really entertaining movie which also shows the great love between the two highly recommend. I've watched it 3 times in 10 years so it can't be too bad as these so called critics claim lol
