Mary 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.

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen is the compelling story of a Drama Queen.She comes to terms with being an Drama Queen and the adventures that follow are certainly to entertain.Her hi-jinx, if you will; follow her escapades into a world which revolves around her being a Drama Queen.

Blossoming with a glowing understanding as she reaches new realms and portrays a fresh, yearning, eager woman who boasts the ability to reign in her new empire as a loyal, dedicated and honourable Drama Queen would and should do.Outspoken, unmatched and a truthful follow-up to her define her character and personality in a true to life account of a women on the verge of growth, mentally, physically and spiritually! A masterpiece for all ages and a definite film which sparkles the emotion and psychological stigmata and sheds light to the very essence of being! Simply remarkable!

The central character of this film is Mary Cep (who prefers to be called Lola), a New York schoolgirl who is horrified when her mother decides to move the family to the New Jersey suburbs. (I wonder if the choice of the name "Lola" was inspired by Lindsay Lohan's own "Li-Lo" nickname). For Lola her native city is the cultural centre of the universe, and New Jersey is spiritually dead. To make things worse, the rather Bohemian Cep family are not made particularly welcome by their staid and conventional new neighbours, who disapprove of their lifestyle and of the fact that Lola's mother is a divorcée. (This detail did not really ring true. Surely these days divorce is nearly as common in conservative suburbia as it is among the artistic intelligentsia).The film is a standard high school comedy, with three main strands to the plot. One deals with Lola's attempts to attend a rock concert with her strait-laced friend Ella and to meet her favourite rock star, Stu Wolfe. Another deals with the staging of a school musical based upon Shaw's "Pygmalion", in which Lola takes the role of Eliza. (This is not Lerner and Loewe's "My Fair Lady" but a rock version which transfers the action to modern-day New York). The third deals with Lola's romance with a handsome boy named Sam. A theme running throughout is the rivalry between Lola and Carla Santini, the beautiful but snobbish and bitchy daughter of a wealthy lawyer. (The glamorous class bitch is a recurrent character in high school dramas).There are some similarities with "Get Over It", another film set around the staging of a high school musical. (I must admit that I have never seen either of the "High School Musical" films themselves). The main difference is that "Get Over It" is a romantic comedy, which just happens to be set in a high school, and in which the male characters are as important as the female ones, whereas "Confessions…." is a high school comedy which just happens to feature romance as one of its elements, and not the most important element at that. (The Sam sub-plot occupies considerably less time than the other two, and the emphasis is very much on the female characters rather than the male ones).Until I saw this film recently I was only aware of Lindsay Lohan as a name in the gossip columns, the latest official Drama Queen of American showbiz, rather than as an actress. The meaning of the title in the context of the film is that Lola is a "drama queen" in two senses, in the sense that she is an aspiring actress but also in the sense that she is the sort of person who will make a huge emotional drama out of just about every development in her life, but in the light of recent revelations about Lindsay's personal life it seems unfortunately appropriate to her as well.To be fair to Lindsay, however, the film shows just why she was regarded in 2004 as having enormous potential to become a major star. The freckle-faced redhead is not, perhaps, a classical beauty (the real beauty in this film is the appropriately-surnamed Megan Fox, who plays the obnoxious Carla), but she has plenty of personality and charisma, and makes Lola, for all her faults, into a lovable heroine. "Confessions….." is a fairly trivial and lightweight, if inoffensive, comedy, but the sparkle and energy of Miss Lohan's performance transform it into something watchable, even to those of us who are not teenage girls. 6/10

When the teenager Mary Elizabeth Cep, a.k.a. Lola, moves with her mother and two younger twin sisters from New York to the suburb of Dellwood, New Jersey, she has the feeling that her cultural and entertaining world ended. While in school, the displaced Lola becomes close friend of the unpopular Ella, who is also a great fan of the her favorite rock band Sidarthur. However, the most popular girl in the school, Carla Santini, disputes the lead role in an adaptation of Pygmalion with Lola and also the leadership of their mates. When the last concert of Sidarthur is sold-out, Lola plans with Ella to travel to New York and buy the tickets from scalpers. However, the girls get into trouble while helping the lead singer and Lola's idol Stu Wolf, changing their lives forever.Out of many of Lindsey Lohan's films, why should this be the overlooked one? I barely heard it at all when it was released and was greatly ignored by people. Well, I decided to watch it and it's "Mean Girls" minus five. This film is ironically very similar to the movie "Mean Girls" yet it wasn't as popular. Well, this film wasn't that good.You know the movie where it gets people talking after you finish watching it? You know that movie that has a well written script? This isn't that movie. You immediately forget about it after five minutes of the ending and you have felt you've wasted about 90 minutes of your life.While I'm being harsh, I would like to say I like the last fifteen minutes of the film. The first hour and fifteen minutes was at least decent to very bad, in a good way. When the film is bad, you merely enjoy it rather than suffer through it. When the film is decent, you pay attention. And when the film is good, you will give this a chance, just like I did.One very good thing I like is the music performance at the end. I feel it was a waste of talent, though. Lindsay Lohan's performance was decent, although it feels the same like "Mean Girls".This is a very forgettable film. It's not as funny as you expected it will be. The movie should have never been made. It felt like an excuse to make a film to cash in just because Lohan is a star. If you really want to watch this, rent it. It's nothing special but nothing horrible, either.
