The story concerns a popular urban teenager named Mary Elizabeth Cep (Lindsay Lohan), who is convinced her real name is Lola. Unfortunately, her family moves from fashionable New York City to a small suburb in New Jersey. Disturbed by her environment, Lola is quick to wage war against the popular Carla Santini (Megan Fox). She's also pursued by high school hunk Stu Wolff (Adam Garcia), but chooses to focus her attention on winning back her title of Most Popular Girl in School. With the help of a frumpy drama teacher (Carol Kane) and shy new friend Ella (Alison Pill), Lola creates a dramatic performance to earn her coveted high status. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

    CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE DRAMA QUEEN, like many Disney flicks, is teenage Hollywood fluff. Nothing special (or good) at all.
  • August 5, 2011
    Such a sweet & adorable movie that definitely begs the question, What the hell happened to Lindsay Lohan. I mean this movie was just fabulous with Lohan as the star Lola Cep, who is just a teenager looking for stardom. Even though all of us know that Lohan will probably never com... read moree back from her drug & alcohol addiction, we should all remember that she was once a great child star.

    Another average chick flick. Wasn't awful, but it wasn't great. Another guilty pleasure. One of those films that you might watch now and again if you're bored.

    really good film but it was lacking some stuff

    This was the worst role of Lindsay Lohan. Her acting isn't that great but this made her looked more bad. And the story was stupid. I watched this right after the movie "Freaky Friday" so imagine how disappointed I am (on Lindsay Lohan). And look at her clothes. WHO WAS ... read moreTHE DESIGNER FOR THOSE UGLY OUTFITS? The most unfashionable dresses I've ever seen in my life I tell you. Now I wouldn't say I was bored because surprisingly, I wasn't. But the first word that came out my mind after watching this was pointless. So yeah, ignore this if you can. You won't regret unless you're a big fan of Lindsay Lohan or Megan Fox (I know some fans who'll digest the crap for their favorite celebrity, pathetic in my opinion).

    this movie sucked so much. I hate it. they need to burn all the copies of the movie in the world so this can never be seen again. F

    For a really corny girl-centric disney movie, I love it. How can you not find something incredibly interesting about seeing two powerhouses like Lindsay Lohan and Megan Fox bicker and challenge each other to countless duels of wit. I think it's got some really incredibly bizarre ... read moremoments that really set it home for being a classic must see disney movie.

    Quite funny and different but it's not my sort of thing.

    complete waste of time.

A movie that -- even by Disney's formulaic standards -- is about as cut and dried as the phone book.

The superficial sweetness masks something rotten. Full Review

Sugarman's muddled comedy serves only to drive home the cliché that the teenage female mind is a roiling mass of contradictions and petty concerns. Full Review

Much of Confessions seems clueless and -- even worse for moviegoers of any age -- listless. Full Review

Both the actress and the character she's playing are stranded in a vapid film about vapid teens. Full Review

Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger

It's a pubescent fantasia without soul or purpose beyond positioning star Lindsay Lohan as the successor to Hilary Duff's throne. Full Review
