Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen Reviews
Better Than The Book, And That Says A Lot!
I am a huge fan of the book, however, I always hated the ending. The story is about Lola, an aspiring young actress who moves from New York, where it is possible for all of her dreams to come true, to New Jersey. She auditions for the school play against the most popular girl in school, Carla, causing a feud. Lola ends up telling lies to Carla, so Carla tries to expose Lola as a fraud. In the end of the book, Carla dosen't get what she has coming to her. Disney's take on the film gives the audience the satisfaction that you end up wanting to see. The rest of the film remains completeley true to the book, but ends up being more funny due to a lot of physical comedy. Lindsay Lohan is a great actor and the charactor she plays in this film is very different from Anna in "Freaky Friday." Another great part of the film is Lola's visions of the lies she tells. They are hilarious and hard to describe because I have never seen anything like them in a film before. You will love "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" is you liked "The Princess Diaries" and "The Lizzie McGuire Movie." The storylines aren't that similar, but it plays like those kinds of movies.
Lindsay Lohan shines, but deserves better script.
Lindsay Lohan is a splendid actress who made the remakes of THE PARENT TRAP and FREAKY FRIDAY really special. She tries with her same talent and charm in this, but can't save the movie from being ultimately just a bit stupid. One hopes this doesn't represent her wave of the future. Hopefully she'll go on to get better roles rivaling those first two mentioned. This movie just dwells a little too much on the obsession of her age group with a band called Siddarthur, that is breaking up and causing everyone to think their world is ending. Siddarthur is a fictitious band, I suppose. Is it meant to be a pun on Siddharta? Anyhow this films features Lohan's character's and her friend's adventures as they roam New York City trying to get to Siddarthur's last concert. Meanwhile, back in her suburban school, Lohan's character is trapped in a grudge match with the school bully as to who will play the lead in the class play. Some things work themselves out in various ways, but some opportunities are missed, and a bit too much of it is more silly than entertsaining.
