Strong and Moving!

Admirable film.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Kids want more!Lindsay Lohan has major media attention, without being real star material. She'd make a sidekick, sure, but lead girl? I've seen her in both MEAN GIRLS where she was outclassed by Rachel McAdams all the way, and GEORGIA RULES, where the actress playing her mother, Felicity Huffman, stole the show, for freaking crying shame! Hot teen foxes MUST do better, Lindsay-love.In this movie, the brighter star is relegated to playing the bad girl. Megan Fox could blow Lindsay Lohan out of the water at any time, but she had to sit on the sideline portraying a cardboard bad girl, Carla Santini. Megan, in this negative part, as the unlikeable rival, nevertheless managed to attract more attention and made Lindsay seem bland by comparison. And as for Alison Pill, that one barely scrapes by. I do not see what the fuss about Lindsay Lohan really is about. I saw amongst the trivia that the part was originally offered to Hilary Duff. That one's cute, she would have made a much better lead actress, with Lindsay in the supporting Ella role. But I suppose Hilary was off on a rock tour.Movie itself is kinda drab and one big yawn and Walt Disney is really in the doldrums judging by the junk they advertise on the DVD which does succeed to make CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE DRANA QUEEN look like a sparkling Ferris wheel. Okay, so I am an old guy and this stuff is marketed at kids but this is the Twenty-First Century so Disney wake up! The kids are advanced and they move past these milk-teeth fodder long before they're out of nappies, dummies and prams. Kids want more!As for this movie, the entire theme is a storm in a teacup, high school play, gmf! That is of course not the point, because for a high-school girl these things would be, like, super-super- important, but the movie is kind of a storm in a teacup itself. As the opposition is such a one-sided badly scripted character, it's not if there ever was much challenge. So the victory is that less sweet. There is no real crisis, other than that the kids think Lola is a fake. The script needed more Z I N G and both Megan and Lindsay could easily have upped it a whole buncha notches while still staying in the Disney all-ages fun-for-the-whole-family realm.

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.

Mary Elizabeth Cep, or Lola as she likes to be known, is moving from New York City to the suburbs of Dellwood, New Jersey with her mother and younger twin sisters. On her first day at school, she met Ella who also happened to be a fan of her favourite rock band Sidarthur. The two became friends since.At the school, there is also Carla Santini. She is the most popular girl and always gets what she wants. But in the new school play on an adaptation of 'Pygamlion', both girls wanted the coveted role. For Lola, this is one step closer for her to achieve the dream of being actress one day.One day, Lola found out that her favourite rock band has separated and will be holding their final concert in New York. The problem is, even Carla is going as well.In a race to be the most popular girl around, what will the teen from New York to suburban New Jersey do to be ahead of Carla? All the usual teenage issues are being shown. Who is popular and not and so on. I especially like the scene where Lindsay Lohan's (who plays Lola) hair is being messed up while trying to get ready for the concert. Kind of funny.

When the teenager Mary Elizabeth Cep (Lindsay Lohan), a.k.a. Lola, moves with her mother and two younger twin sisters from New York to the suburb of Dellwood, New Jersey, she has the feeling that her cultural and entertaining world ended. While in school, the displaced Lola becomes close friend of the unpopular Ella (Alison Pill), who is also a great fan of the her favorite rock band Sidarthur. However, the most popular girl in the school, Carla Santini (Megan Fox), disputes the lead role in an adaptation of Pygmalion with Lola and also the leadership of their mates. When the last concert of Sidarthur is sold-out, Lola plans with Ella to travel to New York and buy the tickets from scalpers. However, the girls get into trouble while helping the lead singer and Lola's idol Stu Wolf (Adam Garcia), changing their lives forever."Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" is a delightful entertaining, with one of those predictable but sweet stories with a message in the end, as usual in Walt Disney movies. I personally like the gorgeous Lindsay Lohan, who is a starlet in this movie, acting, singing and dancing in a sweet character. Further, this film is underrated in IMDb User Rating. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Confissões de Uma Adolescente em Crise" ("Confessions of a Teenager in Crisis")
