Consensus: Sloppily assembled fluff that won't have much of interest for anyone who isn't a preteen girl.

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]

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

Riddled with contradictions, preachiness, implausibilities, false starts and wrong turns, it tells a choppy, incoherent tale without an ounce of charm or wit.

For the most part the material is stubbornly inert, and the actors at times appear to be flailing.

I confess to a deep uncertainty about whether this can be rightly called a movie. A bunch of scenes, maybe.

This bit of fluff is unlikely to appeal to anyone outside of its obvious, intended target audience.

..shrill, numbing and painful to sit through. Maybe this movie will find an audience in children young enough to be entertained by bright colors.

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

'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.

Lohan, overcoming her character's occasional obnoxiousness, has enough spunky charm to make this one work for the target audience of 11-year-old girls.

["Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" should appeal to very young teenage girls or people who are easily amused watching shiny things.

Bubble-brained comedy for the Olsen Twins demographic.

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen is for those old enough to aspire to be high school juniors and seniors, but still too young to do more than dream.

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.

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

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?

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.

If you're the parent of a kid that wants to see this, drop them off and go do something else.

Even for a dizzying tweenage flick, we confess, there's too much going on here.
