Editorial Review:
Tucked into the middle of Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen is a charming sequence in which two girls from New Jersey (Linsay Lohan and Alison Pill) try to go to a rock concert in New York and have their illusions broken, then restored, and then broken, just a bit, again. Lola (Lohan) yearns for glory by playing the lead in the high school play and getting to meet the lead singer of a band called Sidarthur. Despite the spiteful efforts of a popular girl, Lola gets everything she wants without much of a struggle. Most of the movie takes place in a glitzy but flavorless high-school world with glossy teenagers dressed like a less discriminating Christina Aguilera. Pill (Pieces of April) shines in the thankless role of the geeky best friend. Also featuring Glenne Headley (Dick Tracy) and Carol Kane (Office Killer). --Bret Fetzer

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen [Region 2] Reviews:
It's like `Mean Girls', only worse...
2008-08-25 - ...much worse.

To say that `Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen' mirrors it's subsequently superior proceeding film `Mean Girls' would be a simple yet obvious observation. Both center around a young teenage girl who winds up in a new school, fitting in nicely with the nerds while trying to outwit the popular girl. Both also star Lindsay Lohan; but what `Mean Girls' has that `Confessions...' lacks is Tina Fey, among many, many other things.

`Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen' follows Lola as she moves from wonderful New York City to New Jersey where she finds herself in a school that just doesn't understand her. She's your typical teenager who swoons over the frontman for the band Sidarthur, claiming his poetic lyrics to be the second coming of Shakespeare. Moving to New Jersey has been difficult for her, and so she finds herself spreading lies to make her life all the more exciting in order to gain friendships with anyone, ultimately finding that Ella, the school nerd, is the only one that gets her. Carla, the school princess, makes Lola her mortal enemy and they find themselves competing for the lead in the school play and also for the affections of a certain Stu of Sidarthur.

Where `Confessions...' could have come off as a happy-go-lucky teen comedy it winds up coming off amateur and ridiculous. The script is ludicrously unoriginal and manages to never flesh itself out to become anything more than an exaggerated sitcom episode. We never really care about any of the characters and when it all boils down to it we have absolutely no reason to give this movie a second thought, or a first thought.

The acting feels so staged and unnatural that it makes the slosh running rampant on `The Disney Channel' seem Oscar caliber. Lohan has done this much better before (`The Parent Trap') and after (`Mean Girls') and so this offering seems like a really bad hair day for her. Her acting is on the verge of annoying. Worse yet though is Megan Fox who is barely able to make her character seem like anything more than a nervous pretty girl. She's not evil, she's not even commanding. Look at what Rachel McAdams did with Regina George in `Mean Girls'...I mean that is evil. Alison Pill is rather bland in a thankless best friend role, and Glenne Headly (whom I still adore from `Mr. Holland's Opus') is forgettable as Lola's mother. Carol Kane is frighteningly over-the-top and Adam Garcia is decent at best, failing to ever live up to the legend Lola paints of his Stu.

In the end I can't say that `Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen' is really even passable entertainment. I cannot justify ever watching this again, nor can I even justify my decision to watch it in the first place. If you are over the age of ten then this should never grace your television screen.

I wish that I had been smarter before I subjected myself to this mediocrity.

It is dramatic...
2008-08-20 - I went in with an open mind and sat through, hoping it would get better, but this is the ONLY movie I have ever seen where I have wanted to walk out of the theater. For maybe the only positive messages they have in the movie (follow your dreams and don't lie to your best friend) there are so many negative ones. Be catty to other girls, make it one of your top dreams to meet that famous person, do what feels right to you regardless of what it means to other people, give in to stereotypes about teen girls just do it more extremely than the other people and you'll be different, it IS all about you and everything you want will come true! Everything was taken to such an extreme in this movie (it is dramatic) and as a pretty laid back person, I couldn't deal with it. I can see how young girls would be attracted to this film, but I personally didn't like the pointless drama and self-involvement of the main character. I wish I had taken the title more seriously.

Good Movie
2008-05-04 - Lindsay Lohan made a number of cute movies as a kid and teen (what happened?). This is one of those. I had never even heard of this movie. We just ran across it and added it to our kid's DVD collection. It's funny and makes a good addition.

typical Lindsay Lohan flop
2008-04-11 - the only reason i bought this movie was because the cover is cute. i TRIED to watch it with an open mind and TRIED to like it. after all, what's the point of owning a movie you don't even like?

lindsay lohan's character is too over-the-top. i understand that she is SUPPOSED to be that way in the movie, as she is a DRAMA QUEEN. however, she does not pull it off well.

there is a plot, i can give them that.
but the movie was just very lame.

please save yourself time and DON'T watch it!

the ONLY lindsay movies worth watching are "Mean Girls" and "Parent Trap".

Somewhat Inappropriate for Younger Audiences
2007-12-01 - The movie was a good flick, but I'd not reccomend it for younger audiences. This movie is a bit more inappropriate than what most Disney films are.

Let's see, where should I begin? Ah, yes...around the heart of the movie Mary "Lola",(Lohan),and her new friend Ella find the lead singer of their favorite band,drunken in an alleyway near where the band's farewell concert is about to start.

I think Disney went a tad too far with this film. If you ask me, I think it should be at least PG-13 instead of PG.
