Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Nice effects though.
Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
View Morean ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
View MoreIf I have to make one confession,it is that this Lindsay Lohan- starrer Confessions Of A Teen-age Drama Queen is basically not even a teen-age movie.Better yet,it is a pre-teen movie considering that most of the issues being dealt with should no longer issues for teen-agers. The story concerning a popular teen-ager Mary Elizabeth Cep deals about trivial things like her real name being Lola,waging war in popularity when,adjustment to her new life in a more fashionable New York after moving to New Jersey and how to deal with the opposite sex especially when someone is pursuing her.What's worse,these issues aren't part of growing up and becoming more mature.In the end,this is simply an enjoyable movie for pre-teens and probably silly and annoying for both teen-agers and adults.
View MoreMary Elizabeth Steppe (Lindsay Lohan) is moving out of NYC kicking and whining into Dellwood, New Jersey. She lives with her mother Karen (Glenne Headly) and her younger twin sisters. She idolizes rock band Sidarthur insisting everyone should call her Lola. She makes quick friend with outsider and fellow Sidarthur fan Ella Gerard (Alison Pill). She also makes quick enemy with mean girl Carla Santini (Megan Fox). They compete for the lead in school adaptation of Pygmalion and Lola gets the lead. Leader of Sidarthur Stu Wolf (Adam Garcia) is leaving the band and there is a farewell concert/party in the city. Carla's father is their lawyer and has connections. Lola lies about her connections. Lola and Ella sneak out to NYC and have themselves a crazy adventure.This is all very superficial. Even as it calls out the superficiality of it all, it does so superficially. It's not smart enough to dig any deeper. It's all flashy, cutesy, and has the silly imagined sequences. It's a glitter-filled view of teen girl drama done badly. Everything is over-dramatized by Lola as indicated by the title which gets a little bit tiresome. It's just not that funny and slightly annoying.

View MoreI first watched this 3 years ago and thought it was good. I'm not a big fan of Lindsay Lohan but I think she did a great performance as Lola Cep. Alison Pill was great as Lola's best friend Ella. As great as I thought Megan Fox's character was in this, I thought her character was a moron. There was a bit of irony in this, Lola (Lindsay Lohan) telling her favourite singer that he was a drunk and another scene where Lola imagines she's dancing with Stu Woolf dressed like Marilyn Monroe. I found I like this better than Mean Girls (another Lindsay film) which came out the same year as this. There were some great music in this, I liked the song Don't Move On.
