An energetic cast and random lines of snappy dialog almost elevate this insipid comedy into something entertaining. But not quite.

Reviews for Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen
A self-absorbed sugar rush of a movie, this might please small girls but will leave a sour taste in everyone else's mouth.

Top CriticBoth the actress and the character she's playing are stranded in a vapid film about vapid teens.

Somehow the film gets through its entire running time without ever having a plot.
02/26/04
Sugarman directs this cheerful movie as if it were a bunch of memories pasted haphazardly into a scrapbook.

Supported by Lindsay Lohan's effervescent performance, Drama Queen has a fun flair for the dramatics but ultimately is a piece of fluff targeted to a limited audience.
02/20/04
The gimmicks and goofy daydream sequences mount up until the film collapses under their weight.

Clothes, friends, makeup, popularity, high school: All this, and Lindsay Lohan, too.

Lindsay Lohan pulls out all the stops in her performance as a talented teenager whose unbridled enthusiasm sets her apart from her peers.

We go home wondering exactly what lessons movies like these are supposed to be teaching our children.

Sleep all day, party all night, never grow old, never die: it's fun to be a Disney starlet

What teenage girl would enjoy watching this? I'm glad Disney addresses this oft-ignored demographic, but if these girls are pandered to so obviously, won't they feel insulted?

["Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" should appeal to very young teenage girls or people who are easily amused watching shiny things.
02/20/04
..shrill, numbing and painful to sit through. Maybe this movie will find an audience in children young enough to be entertained by bright colors.
02/20/04
Only the 13-and-under set will buy into the Confessions vision of teen-hood. Most actual teens have already noted the lack of opportunities for air-guitar montages.
09/11/06
This light, brisk, candy-colored comedy is rescued from cookie-cutter teen-movie status by some quirky moments and the efforts of its bright young cast.

Talk about drama - oh! The horror.
