Suddenly catapulted into the mall-dwelling teenage wilderness of... Moving to the suburbs proves tougher than Lola (Lindsay Lohan) expected in this delightful teen comedy from director Sara Sugarman. 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]

Even at less than an hour and a half, it still feels absurdly padded.

The whole enterprise feels desperately thrown together for a teen/mall profit and rather cheap.

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.

A movie that -- even by Disney's formulaic standards -- is about as cut and dried as the phone book.

Sugarman's muddled comedy serves only to drive home the cliché that the teenage female mind is a roiling mass of contradictions and petty concerns.

A string of unrelated scenes about the high-school musical ... the band's final concert, some random moments in which some standard-issue popular girls are mean to Lola, and Lola's active fantasy life.

Much of Confessions seems clueless and -- even worse for moviegoers of any age -- listless.

Why is this chiffon doodle essentially offensive? Because it is about nothing, and it turns the dreams of girls into piffle.

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

The gimmicks and goofy daydream sequences mount up until the film collapses under their weight.

It's a pubescent fantasia without soul or purpose beyond positioning star Lindsay Lohan as the successor to Hilary Duff's throne.

The film's essential soullessness bangs back against its cheer, reminding us of the wrinkled businessmen's hands reaching for our dollars from behind the sunny smiles.

A shlocky, sloppy and crass adolescent comedy.

Sugarman directs this cheerful movie as if it were a bunch of memories pasted haphazardly into a scrapbook.

Like a stream-of-consciousness riff on girl movie notions -- minus the consciousness part.
