Since Chapter 27 has now pre-screened in a couple of theaters across the US, and is soon to have it’s Opening Weekend for the April 4 night (you can win tickets!), I thought I’d check out some of the reviews. The reviews from the premiere overseas were luke warm, although Lindsay Lohan received a lot of praise. Here are some insights from recent reviews of Chapter 27.

The film itself is criticized in writing/direction for a poor aesthetic, and jumbled postmodern references that just don’t quite fit. Lindsay, however, gets some good reviews for her ability to take on a role (as Jude) that embodies so much (representing ‘all fans’) - she is supposed to fade into her role, but is given pivotal roles by providing Chapman with access to John & Yoko’s son. The movie is said to stumble after ‘Jude’s’ part is over.

Gothamist gives a poor review of the film, but a good one of Lindsay:
"Supporting characters like Lindsay Lohan, who, perhaps by contrast, comes off as refreshingly charming and adorable here, can’t wait to get the hell away from the self-absorbed Chapman."

The New York Daily News gives a more positive review, understanding that the point of the film was to get into Chapman’s head, and to see the world in his distorted perception. Yes, it is dizzying, but that’s part of the point.

TVGuide says the movie is painfully slow, too wrapped in self-pity, without much action. But that was true to Chapman in reality - perhaps too true for film
"Lohan is fine as the fictitious embodiment of all fans with nothing more sinister in mind than securing an autograph or exchanging a few words with their idols"

You can read more reviews listed from Rotten Tomatoes, which gives the film an 18% overall. Keep in mind, independant films don’t always "click" with mainstream audiences, but they can still be amazing. If you take out that this is not an "action" flick, but a documentary look into the life of a boring and crazy man, and how that impacted the world, then perhaps you will see the true gems of the movie.
