Of course, it is fairly easy to determine the answers to these questions because the film is pretty predictable. Will Lola and Ella get into the sold-out Sid Arthur concert? Will they find and get into the after-party? And more importantly, will Lohan have the perfect outfit to wear when she meets Stu? Lola, ready to impress, lies and claims that she too has tickets.Īfter this setup, the suspense begins to build. So, when Sid Arthur breaks up, Carla brags to Lola that she's been invited to the band's final concert, and the party afterwards at Stu's house. Much to the dismay of popularity queen Carla, Lola lands the lead and Carla declares war. Lola, eager to jump into the spotlight, auditions for the school musical "Eliza Rocks!", a rather loose interpretation of Pygmalion. The girls love Sid Arthur and its lead singer Stu (Adam Garcia) in an obsessive way that has to be unhealthy. Within five minutes of entering her new high school, Lola has acquired a nerdy best friend and a mortal enemy who looks like she has walked straight off the emaciated runways of the fashion industry.Įlla, played by Alison Pill, quickly becomes Lola's best friend due to a mutual love of the rock band Sid Arthur. Lola comes from a less well-to-do family than the rest of those in her new home of Dellwood, N.J., although her Cher-like wardrobe has you assuming otherwise. Lohan plays Lola Cep, an overly dramatic 15-year-old who is uprooted from her home in the Big Apple and trasnported to the New Jersey suburbs. Lohan has enough energy and sass to carry the film, but at times, because most of the cast is not well-known, it feels like the film is a high-budget, made-for-TV movie. "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" differs from Lohan's previous two films in that she is no longer supported by well-respected, top-notch actors now Lohan is billed as the star. Last summer's remake of "Freaky Friday," which set Lohan opposite Jamie Lee Curtis, was remarkably well acted and a refreshing oasis in an otherwise dry season of movies. ![]() Since her first pairing with Disney for the 1998 remake of "The Parent Trap," Lindsay Lohan's sassy style has graced the screen for several rather enjoyable family films. Carol Kane deserves a better fate.Starring Lindsay Lohan, Adam Garcia and Alison Pill. I loved Carol Kane back when she made real movies, like Wedding in White and Carnal Knowledge and Hester Street. I confess to a sentimental weepiness at the sad sight of Carol Kane, reduced here to hamming it up shamelessly as a frumpy teacher with a bad do. ![]() Later, I cheat and consult the press bio for clues. I settle on the love child of Geena Davis and Giovanni Ribisi.
