Lindsay Lohan plays Lola, a hip Greenwich Village teenager who moves to a new school in a Jersey suburb, where she faces Carla Santini, a girl claiming to be the most popular girl at her school, a title that Lola must have no matter what. Since most people will not like Lohan as much as I do I can honestly say you will probably hate this film too. Without her I would have hated this film completely. She does the best she can, basically proving she is too good for material like this. I like Lindsay Lohan, a lot actually, therefore I was able to finish this film. Not for male adults, not for teenage girls. There are some moments for them to be funny I guess, but most of the time it is not. I even have hard time believing young teenage girls will enjoy this one. I hope Lohan's next film will have the wit of a 'Mean Girls' again. This one fits in a line with Duff films like 'A Cinderella Story' or 'Raise Your Voice', films where you can enjoy the good looking lady but nothing else. No offense to Duff, but Lohan is a much better actress and has proved that in films with scripts so much more intelligent than this one. It felt more like a Hilary Duff film and I was not surprised to learn the part of Lola was in fact offered to her first. I am not sure why this film was made, but I guess to show Lohan dancing, singing, being arrogant, learning her lesson, have a happy ending, do some more dancing and some more singing. Other parts involve a school play where Lola is cast for the leading role and Carla only for a small supporting role. Carla will be there since her father is the lawyer that represents Sid Arthur. Parts of the story involve the bad Sid Arthur breaking up, a last concert they will give in New York and Lola and Ella trying to get in. Since the school is where most of the story takes place we need a villain, another good looking girl named Carla (Mega Fox). She seems very sure of herself, but we understand that is only on the surface. Lola is a nice person but lies too much because she wants to be liked. At her new school she becomes friends with Ella (Alison Pill), mainly because they both like the same rock band, Sid Arthur. Here she plays Mary, naming herself Lola, a girl who leaves New York, the city she loves, and moves to New Jersey with her mother and two little sisters. 'Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen' comes as a disappointment from Lindsay Lohan after the very funny 'Freaky Friday' and 'Mean Girls'.
