The fact that Lohan is a tabloid fodder due to her career-destroying antics, she still remains a star. And that’s what made her a resemblance to Liz’s life: a life overshadowed by the watchful eye of the paparazzi but still manages to gain popularity amidst all the career changing life decisions. This is also what most critics saw in the comparison between what the movie portrays and what real-life shows.
TV Guide‘s Matt Roush asks in his review:“What unbecomes a legend most?” before nominating Liz & Dick for the “TV Turkey Hall of Fame.” It’s “an epic of stunningly cynical and pathetic miscasting, a TV movie so laughably inept it doesn’t deserve to be on a first-name basis with anything resembling humanity.”
Linda Staci of the New York Post gives the movie three stars out of four and making remarks that is rightfully considered as a well-fitted balance between the boundaries of the marvelous and the insane. Staci says, ” Lohan is so often believable you might think you’re seeing the real thing.”
“There are so many things in this movie that are just so damned juicy,” Stasi notes,” that it is sure is [sic] more fun to watch than the exploits of today’s orchestrated star pairings.”
Grant is as dynamic as Taylor is as alive between the couples. And if you think that the paparazzi drawn star is as much as capable of pulling the strings to make a full-meltdown, wait until you see Grant, when not in his mood to look in the camera with his seductive looks and baritone tone, will definitely throw tantrums to whoever is willing to be given from him.
Variety’s Brian Lowry says that the movie has its “secret weapon” hidden in the looks of Grant Bowler, who he says ”classes up the movie in much the way Burton’s classically trained Shakespearean actor played off Taylor’s lifelong movie star.”
