Brief synopsis of 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.

Rating of 3 stars out of 5 Radio Times

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.

Feeble comedy that regards conspicuous consumption and attention-seeking as among the higher virtues.

Amelia Cooper from St.Albans , 22/02/2005

We Love cheesy Chick Flicks! You know the best ones, Frecky Friday, 10 things i hate about you, Mean Girls, Miss congeilaity and Princess Dairies! They are all great fun to watch but this film really wasn't it was really bad acting (even tho it has lindsay lotham), the story line was useless and it just looked really really cheap! I mean its about A Girl (lindsay) who wants to go to the concert in New York where she is origanally from but there are lots of problems on the way! But it just isn't any good! We were sitting there going OH MY GOD!!!! I want to die!!!

This film is for female children under the age of 10, or people who like a lot of pink things in their lives!

I rented this off the back of enjoying "Mean Girls" unfortunately this isn't a patch on it, and was thoroughly dissapointed.

Rated - 1 starsA bland and far inferior take on

Rory Aitken from Totnes, England , 19/03/2005

Don't waste your time! Even my 12-year old daughter stopped watching this half way through. If you haven't yet, get 'Mean Girls' instead: same theme, 100 times better (acting, script, music, humour - everything about Mean Girls is better than this dross!)
