Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
crazy_smilers If you like cheesy girly movies then you may enjoy this one. A bit over the top with fantasy clips which I wasn't much of a fan of but some were alright. I hated being able to notice there was screens behind them at times. I was impressed by Lindsay's singing and dancing. I feel sad seeing her in her youth as well as Amanda Bynes whom I had loved. It's a shame what has become of them. On an interesting note for me was I wasn't sure if I had watched it before. Even watching it I kept questioning myself. I have seen it before but sadly it was clearly not that memorable. It was really just an alright movie. Certainly not a gotta watch before you die one. Lol
dovercourtnews Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen looks like a very over-produced film (every scene features loud bright colours, neon lights, heavy costume design..etc)and the scene where Lola and Carla (Megan Fox) are sitting in the auditorium features heavy blurring, thereby making the scene a tad jarring. I did think that Lohan, Garcia and Kane gave solid performances even if the latter two didn't get as much screen time.The film is far from the worst ever made, but it is definitely one of Lohan's weaker films, especially compared to the likes of "Freaky Friday" and "Mean girls". I don't think the film is terrible per say just a little boring and very predictable. It was clearly a good children's book, just not compelling enough a story for filming. One for younger girls I'm afraid.
laucon I have seen what hell is like, and it's watching this movie. Lindsay Lohan plays Mary. (She calls herself Lola.) Mary is an extreme drama queen. So she is crushed when her Mom moves her from New York City to a suburb. She spends the entire movie trying to compete with mean girl, Carla. First, Mary tries out for the school play and then she tries to get into the final concert of everyone's favorite band, Sidarthur. In the end, Mary gets everything she wants because she is the so-called "protagonist" of the movie. Lohan plays this part amazingly well, mostly because Lohan is a drama-driven slut in real life. That's just my opinion, but I know that a lot of people agree with me. Mary is just about as horrible a role model for young girls as there is. Just as bad as a lot of mean girl antagonists like Carla or Sharpay from High School Musical, if not worse, a lot worse. This is a very bad movie to show your daughters because it gives them horrible impressions about appropriate behavior for girls and it teaches them completely horrendous values about life and getting what you want. Overall, this is the worst family film I have seen in my life.
moviewizguy When the teenager Mary Elizabeth Cep, a.k.a. Lola, moves with her mother and two younger twin sisters from New York to the suburb of Dellwood, New Jersey, she has the feeling that her cultural and entertaining world ended. While in school, the displaced Lola becomes close friend of the unpopular Ella, who is also a great fan of the her favorite rock band Sidarthur. However, the most popular girl in the school, Carla Santini, disputes the lead role in an adaptation of Pygmalion with Lola and also the leadership of their mates. When the last concert of Sidarthur is sold-out, Lola plans with Ella to travel to New York and buy the tickets from scalpers. However, the girls get into trouble while helping the lead singer and Lola's idol Stu Wolf, changing their lives forever.Out of many of Lindsey Lohan's films, why should this be the overlooked one? I barely heard it at all when it was released and was greatly ignored by people. Well, I decided to watch it and it's "Mean Girls" minus five. This film is ironically very similar to the movie "Mean Girls" yet it wasn't as popular. Well, this film wasn't that good.You know the movie where it gets people talking after you finish watching it? You know that movie that has a well written script? This isn't that movie. You immediately forget about it after five minutes of the ending and you have felt you've wasted about 90 minutes of your life.While I'm being harsh, I would like to say I like the last fifteen minutes of the film. The first hour and fifteen minutes was at least decent to very bad, in a good way. When the film is bad, you merely enjoy it rather than suffer through it. When the film is decent, you pay attention. And when the film is good, you will give this a chance, just like I did.One very good thing I like is the music performance at the end. I feel it was a waste of talent, though. Lindsay Lohan's performance was decent, although it feels the same like "Mean Girls".This is a very forgettable film. It's not as funny as you expected it will be. The movie should have never been made. It felt like an excuse to make a film to cash in just because Lohan is a star. If you really want to watch this, rent it. It's nothing special but nothing horrible, either.
