Genre: Musical
Director: Larry Peerce
Cast: Rick Springfield, Janet Eilber, Patti Hansen, Albert Salmi, Gregory Itzin, Peter Van Norden, Bill Mumy, Garry Goodrow, Tracy Brooks Swope, Monique Gabrielle
Rick Springfield's rock music makes this film worthwhile, but don't count on much in the way of plot, dialogue, or acting. 2 User Reviews

| | Not the best, but not the worst either. | Anonymous 04/13/2009 | | Ok, so the acting wasn't the greatest, but the MUSIC was fantastic! Rick Springfield was believable in this movie as a rock star (as he happens to be one in real life). |

Aubrey (Lindsay Lohan) has it all: top grades in college, multiple talents, looks, and money. She also has a dark side–writing stories about a girl who feels she is only half a person. Aubrey is kidnapped by a serial killer and is tortured, losing an arm and a leg. Two weeks later, Aubrey is found, but the look-alike insists she isn't Aubrey, but Dakota, the girl created by Aubrey. Dakota, now with artificial limbs, takes on a life of porn while her parents and police try to figure out what's going on. A disappointing film.
