Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen
Moving to the suburbs proves tougher than Lola (Lindsay Lohan) expected in this delightful teen comedy from director Sara Sugarman. Suddenly catapulted into the mall-dwelling teenage wilderness of New Jersey, New York City girl Lola feels like her life has come to an abrupt halt. Longing for a return to the bright lights of the metropolis, her only salvation from the monotony of suburban life is the music of her favorite rock band, Sidarthur. Fortunately for Lola, she meets Ella (Alison Pill), a fellow Sidarthur fan, who provides a modicum of intelligent life amongst the scornful cliques running rampant throughout her high school. However, Lola's big-city attitude puts her in a heap of trouble, especially when she crosses paths with the most popular girl in school, Carla (Megan Fox). Keen to usurp Carla from her high-and-mighty position, Lola sets out to take the much-desired lead in the school play, a position her archrival desperately covets. But when Sidarthur announces it is breaking up and playing a sold-out farewell show in New York City, a ticketless Lola makes it her mission to travel back to her own personal Mecca, see the performance, and meet her number one crush, singer Stu Wolff (Adam Garcia). With Carla hot on her heels, and in possession of a ticket for the concert, the frantic and frequently funny story arc builds nicely towards its conclusion in this bubbly coming-of-age tale.

This bright comedy is another example of the type of high-school film where nothing but rock 'n' roll and romance seem to be on the syllabus. Lindsay Lohan (Freaky Friday) plays popular New York teenager Lola Cep, who is transferred to a suburban New Jersey school where the bitchy Carla (Megan Fox) rules the roost. Instant rivals, the pair set out to snatch the lead role in a musical version of Pygmalion and light up the life of rock star Adam Garcia. Director Sara Sugarman uses candyfloss colours and some animation to give proceedings a little extra sparkle, which helps when the film, on occasion, takes itself too seriously. This belongs very much to the teen wish-fulfilment genre, but Lohan emerges as a real contender for grown-up stardom, while veteran actress Carol Kane lends wonderfully eccentric support as a fluttery drama teacher.

Teenage CHICK FLICK
What can I say my younger teenage daughter thought it was a great film, the older teenager went and read a book and as for me, I fell asleep! Great for some, but not my cup of tea.

Fox: 'I didn't get along with Lohan on Confessions set'
- 13 Jun 2009
Sexy Transformers star Megan Fox has revealed she and Lindsay Lohan were far from best friends on the set of Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen - they were teen rivals. The two actresses teamed up for the 2004 film, but Fox admits they refused to get close. She says, "We didn't get along, but were, like, 17, so of course we didn't get along. Girls are catty; they don't like each other." Read more
