Toy company Mattel produced this feature-length cartoon about adolescent celebrity fixation as a showcase for the popular "My Scene" dolls.
While hanging out at a trendy coffee bar, Barbie (Voice of Kelly Sheridan) and
her rainbow coalition of gal-pals learn that a Hollywood blockbuster is being shot nearby. Barbie, Madison (Katherine Barr), Chelsea (Nicole
Bouma), Nolee (Tegan Moss) and Delancey (Meghan Black) temporarily abandon their responsibilities at the Gap and crash the set of a fabulous Lindsay
Lohan (Lindsay Lohan) vehicle. Palming themselves off as extras, the My Scene regulars get walk-ons as gym students and equestriennes. When the teen fashionistas aren’t fantasizing about what it must be like to be as fabulous as Ms. Lohan, they pine for the film’s totally hot co-star, Ryan (Sam Vincent). Barbie and her dolls rifle through a costume trailer and try on fabulous outfits; then, in an even more fabulous turn of events, Madison
happens to be in the right place at the right time: A bit players is incapacitated and she has a speaking part! Ryan is suddenly interested in her and before long, Madison is hobnobbing with teen sensations and has no time for her old friend. Surely she didn't learn this kind of prima donna behavior from populist icon Lohan! Will Madison get hip to herself, or will she dump her true friends to bask in a fleeting limelight?
Made before Lohan's spectacular public meltdown, this barely disguised consumer guide for tweens has the misfortune to posit Lohan as a major talent and role model for young girls. leave a comment --Robert Pardi
