Life-Size 2

Casey discovers The Book of Awakenings at Past Pages Bookstore. The volume explains a section on resurrecting the dead and warns that a successful revival becomes permanent unless undone before sunset on the fourth day. Motivated by her mother's memory, she decides to attempt the ritual, even though she leaves all the money she has in a glass compartment on the shelf.

To prepare, Casey gathers artifacts from her mother's life, including locks of hair kept in her hairbrush. She hopes these items will anchor the ritual and enable a safe return. The preparation signals the countdown toward the fourth day.

Drew McDonald arrives with a mall-sold Eve doll for Casey's birthday and uses Casey’s hairbrush to brush the doll's hair. As Casey utters the incantation, strands from the Eve doll remain on the brush and the spell activates the doll, not her mother. The next morning, Casey wakes to find Eve standing in her room as a full-size woman.

Casey is upset by the turn of events, but Eve is excited about being a real person. The two begin to navigate their new living dynamic, with Eve cautiously exploring her new life. Casey faces mixed feelings as her world suddenly shifts around her.

Over the next few days, Eve becomes a whirlwind of activity: shopping for clothes at the local mall, applying her police training to stop a truck, and learning to eat and smell for the first time. She tries secretarial work, performs a dance with Ben at a corporate event, and almost sets the kitchen on fire. Through it all, she begins to adapt and observe human life up close.

Eve offers empathy and insight, helping Casey cope with her mother's death. The unlikely duo starts to form a supportive bond as Eve reveals a more compassionate side. Casey slowly opens up and begins to regain some self-confidence through Eve's encouragement.

Casey learns that a second volume of the magic book is required to reverse Eve's spell. The discovery introduces a new hurdle and a looming deadline for undoing what has happened. The local bookstore becomes a focal point as the possibility of a remedy appears on the horizon.

Ben, Casey's father, has been missing many of Casey's football games while chasing a promotion, and his growing attraction to Eve strains the father-daughter relationship. Casey resents what she sees as a betrayal to her late mother. The tension adds emotional complexity to the household as Eve's presence intensifies feelings on all sides.

Eve uses her influence to help people become better versions of themselves, notably Ellen, Ben's coworker. This compassionate impact deepens the bond between Eve and those around her. Casey observes Eve's growing maturity, which further blurs the line between friend and magical apparition.

Over time, Casey and Eve become closer friends, with Eve offering genuine insight and sensitivity. Casey shares tips on how to be a popular, positive role model for others. When the second volume finally arrives at the bookstore, Casey opts not to buy it because she has grown attached to Eve.

Discouraged by Eve's homesickness and concerned about Marathon's future, Eve resolves to undo the spell herself. She buys the second volume and, after saying goodbye to Ben at Casey's championship game, travels to Sunnyvale at Marathon headquarters and recites the incantation. Casey and Ben arrive to witness her farewell as she returns to being a doll.

Sometime later, Eve returns to being a popular toy once more, carrying with her the lessons learned from the real world. Casey maintains her old friendships, and Ben receives a promotion at work. Drew's lunch with Ben hints at a hopeful, restored balance to the family.

The film ends with the cast dancing to Eve's theme song, and an apparently real Eve sings and dances along with them. The closing scene leaves the audience with a sense of closure and the idea that Eve found balance between her world and the human friendships she built.
