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. [More]

A creative no man's land: nothing ventured, nothing gained, nothing worth watching.

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

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

Not a winner, but it’s at least passable entertainment for kids whose parents want their idols to preach against drunkenness and learn that lying isn’t a good thing.

Lohan is a firecracker on the screen. She has personality, presence and potential to grow into an accomplished actress.

'Hate' is not a word I use loosely to describe my feelings about a movie, but I hated every second of Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen.

Would that this film were as pulled together as Lola's fabulous outfits.

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.
