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

Critic Reviews
-
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune
A star vehicle with three flat tires and sugar in the gas tank.
-
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
Dear Diary: The truth is that there's nothing much to confess in the made-for-tweens comedy Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen.
-
Anya Kamenetz, Village Voice
Smug, sanitized fantasy, in which the hysterical blonde attention-seeker, in a succession of sparkly outfits, is uprooted from New York to the boring suburbs and learns boring suburban values like telling the truth.
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
A movie that -- even by Disney's formulaic standards -- is about as cut and dried as the phone book.
-
Nell Minow, Common Sense Media
Enjoyable movie about the trials of being a teen.
