Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen

Lindsay Lohan was spectacular and the costumes were so good.

NGL, "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" is the perfect title for this movie. However, with its meandering plot & lackluster direction, Confessions falls short from being rememberable after half an hour. I understand the general message of "just being you is enough", but I do wish the movie was better constructed for us to care more about the story. I feel like there were more interesting focuses or merged scenes that could have been edited from the school, NY, etc. The main good points is Lola, as a character and dialogue, as pure unfiltered dramatic camp, the catchy 5 minute musical number by the end of the film (which most kids at the time probably expected this movie to entail), and the best friend who plays a grounded counterpart to our protagonist. I honestly just didn't know where we were heading with this movie - and i did get frustrated at times. But, this movie holds a soft spot due to being one of my memorable childhood movies. So, this is its biased score.

Based on a novel by Dyan Sheldon and starring Lindsay Lohan as a compulsive liar who wants to meet her favorite rock star. I am not the target demographic for this movie as it is obviously targeting teenage girls. The story at its core is “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” story, but with a teenage girl in modern times. My biggest problem with the story was that this “boy” didn’t lose his flock after lying repeatedly. Instead she feels bad for herself for a night, then gets the boy and defeats the villain. Acting wise Lohan does great as does Megan Fox in her theatrical debut. I have seen a few of these movies that are targeting a younger female demographic and at this point they have become formulaic. This film was complete with a getting dressed montage, and a pop concert ending. If you like Lindsay Lohan as an actress or are a teenage girl this movie is worth checking out, otherwise skip it.

Lindsay Lohan was great in this. Such a fun performance! Loved.

I think this movies is to watch when your at your room chiling. This is certainly my comfort movie cus' I think that the story is great and lindsay in this movie is just perfect. I love the play of confessions of a teenage drama queen too. I think that this movie is just iconic and it also has a lesson behind it. :) hope you enjoy it

It's campy, hilarious. Lindsay Lohan shines as always and Allison pill give good balance.

Bad and complete mess structurally. The acting isn't good at all. Everyone is giving over the top performances with bad dialogue, jokes that never hit, and there isn't any chemistry or charm with anyone. The cinematography isn't good either with basic camera work, forgettable locations, and this has a good amount of dumb scenes in it that are just stupid. The music is the best thing in this and that's saying a lot because its just ok being a generic 2000's pop score. The editing & pacing is bad as well. This feels like two stories about a school play and concert in NYC story arcs that never merge together to form a cohesive narrative and the plot is very razor thin to begin with and it feels like they drag scenes on way more than it has to be. That is on top of the weird out of place imaginative scenes with terrible green screen. This honestly should never have been made into a movie but two 30 minute Disney channel episodes for a sitcom. Even if your a fan of Lohan skip this because it lacks any charm at all.

Ella Enchanted, starring Anne Hathaway, Hugh Dancy, Minnie Driver, and Eric Idle, is a contemporary epic fairy tale, sitting on the top shelf with such classics as The Wizard of Oz, and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. A deeply telling and romantic tale, set in the land of magic, with many important messages, ranging from personal freedom, self empowerment, truth, and equality, to the simple pleasures that create the beautiful contrast of fairy tales, humor, song, beauty, friendship. A family movie, Ella Enchanted will be enjoyed by adults and children, and is sure to bring a warmth to your heart. Anne Hathaway steals your heart with her charm, personality, and ability to carry the movie no matter where it leads, with great beauty and skill. The supporting roles are cute, witty, and fill out the movie in all the right places. This is one for the vaults, and the DVD collection

Not the worst teen-girl-flick to watch, but definitely not a good one. Didn't like it as a teen, didn't like it 8 years later.
