A portion of the audience for The Canyons will watch it out of a gleeful sense of schadenfreude. Quite a significant portion, in fact, because it is a film which stars Lindsay Lohan, and as such has become a small part of the travelling media circus that surrounds her. Yet any rubberneckers hoping to get some Liz & Dick-style hate-watching from The Canyons would probably be better off looking elsewhere since Paul Schrader's film, and Lohan's performance, have nowhere near the camp value of that misbegotten endeavour, and would make for pretty desultory viewing party material.
