Desertman84 If I have to make one confession,it is that this Lindsay Lohan- starrer Confessions Of A Teen-age Drama Queen is basically not even a teen-age movie.Better yet,it is a pre-teen movie considering that most of the issues being dealt with should no longer issues for teen-agers. The story concerning a popular teen-ager Mary Elizabeth Cep deals about trivial things like her real name being Lola,waging war in popularity when,adjustment to her new life in a more fashionable New York after moving to New Jersey and how to deal with the opposite sex especially when someone is pursuing her.What's worse,these issues aren't part of growing up and becoming more mature.In the end,this is simply an enjoyable movie for pre-teens and probably silly and annoying for both teen-agers and adults.

Python Hyena Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004): Dir: Sara Sugarman / Cast: Lindsay Lohan, Glenne Headly, Adam Garcia, Alison Pill, Megan Fox: Amusing and colourful teen comedy about a girl who dreams of becoming an actress but her family moves from New York to the suburbs. Her loud clothes and overactive behaviour do not fit with the school's popular crowd yet she finds acceptance with the class nerd. Plot centres around the final concert of her favourite band and their decision to split afterward. Through deceitful actions she is determined to make it to the concert. The premise is rushed but story is well paced. Stylish direction by Sara Sugarman with colourful production and costumes. Lindsay Lohan pulls off a hilarious overactive imagination despite the predictable outcome. Glenne Headly unfortunately is the standard issue movie mother who is there for plot convenience only. Alison Pill plays her best friend in a role that has been duplicated a dozen times. Adam Garcia on the other hand, steals scenes as Lohan's drunken rock idol who is both funny and provides a nifty concluding plot twist. Megan Fox is the umpteenth female to play the bitchy rival and it has all the fire of a tooth paste commercial. Deviant behaviour is played for laughs and that is an underlined disappointment otherwise this should appeal to teenage girls looking for a laugh and that is something any drama queen can confess too. Score: 6 / 10

jimmylee-1 Here's another one for my secondary category of movies: the movies you watch when you just had your teeth drilled so you can't laugh out loud or think too hard because of the Tylenol with codeine the dentist thankfully prescribed. Wait; even then, this movie would be stupid. OK, credit to the writers taking the flip side to the nerd-in-the-new-school story. Lindsay Lohen, apparently applying herself to this one, manages to play the drama queen with flair, if not gusto (perhaps offering some insight into her personal psyche). Glenne Headly, who I'm ashamed to say I haven't noticed since Disney's overblown Dick Tracy, did a great job as the long-suffering, seen-it-all, mom, perfect for the movie. Allison Pill was great as Ella, although I'm not sure the character she played would have ever really stood up to Lola, regardless of circumstances. It was good to see Carol Kane on the screen - and Adam Garcia; up until HBO, I'm not sure we saw enough of him.But even the cast members can't save this movie. The scenario is so very unlikely. Silly self-centered new girl changes name at school (really, how many high school teachers would cater to that whim?) and creates rivalry with reigning popular queen (like any new girl takes that first step. Even the biggest idiot on the planet professes undying love and Best Friends Forever with the most popular girl in school to get into the best parties). Meanwhile, artistic mommy continues to remain true to herself, selling enough pottery so each child can have a room in their home in the 'burbs (the suburbs are just riotous with successful potters). Daddy is a famous dog cartoonist, but apparently pays no alimony. Daughter pretends Daddy is dead instead of using Daddy's famous standing to gain in popularity (right, as if the normal new-to-town girl wouldn't be flashing the dog on day two).Then, rock band leader meets silly spoiled girl (like that's going to happen) at the band's party (ditto) and, after a 15-minute drunken conversation, is persuaded to give up alcohol forever instead of swearing off teenage girls forever (the natural impulse after this movie). Current snobbish popularity queen is put in her place forever (OK, news flash: that NEVER happens in real life. Only with a great deal of luck will you see her at the 25-year reunion and hear that she has divorced the football quarterback and been stuck living with her parents in your backwater home town. Usually she's become a fitness instructor to the stars and is engaged to a fabulously wealthy stunt man while you've spent 10 years trying to get rid of stubborn belly fat) and our heroine is benevolent forever (she was a bit mercurial before, but I'm sure she'll have real focus now) from her new throne. I thankfully watched this on one of the premium channels, so when the girls misplaced their tickets for The Concert, I could at least change the channel rather than endure their amazing stupidity further. If my nieces behaved this way, I would have to send them to a remedial school for elementary purse carrying.Maybe this movie was great for teenage girls, but I found it to be silly set to a good soundtrack. (Just goes to show how close you can come to saving a really crummy flick with good music. John Belushi was right.) It was the soundtrack that kept me watching, not the acting or the storyline - the story was just embarrassing.
