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.
-
Nell Minow, Common Sense Media
Enjoyable movie about the trials of being a teen.
-
Lisa Ann Cockrel, Christianity Today
Only the 13-and-under set will buy into the Confessions vision of teen-hood. Most actual teens have already noted the lack of opportunities for air-guitar montages.
-
Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness
Mind-numbingly juvenile.
-
John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
...a perfectly bland, homogenized, milquetoast piece of inconsequential would-be comedy fluff.
-
Bill Chambers, Film Freak Central
Sleep all day, party all night, never grow old, never die: it's fun to be a Disney starlet
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...unapologetically geared towards the tween crowd, all other audiences be damned.
-
Nick De Semlyen, Empire Magazine
A self-absorbed sugar rush of a movie, this might please small girls but will leave a sour taste in everyone else's mouth.
-
Nev Pierce, BBC
A creative no man's land: nothing ventured, nothing gained, nothing worth watching.
-
Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall
An energetic cast and random lines of snappy dialog almost elevate this insipid comedy into something entertaining. But not quite.
-
Michael Drakulich, Star Newspapers (Chicago, IL)
I hope kids see through this film's slick production value and realize Lindsay Lohan's character is only a shade above contemptible much less worth their admiration.
-
Linda Cook, Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
Talk about drama - oh! The horror.
-
Dan Jardine, Cinemania
Bland, warmed over genre cliches masquerading as a movie.
-
Tony Toscano, Talking Pictures (U.S.)
...film pimps to is core demographic and gives nothing substantial in return.
-
Josh Bell, Las Vegas Weekly
Somehow the film gets through its entire running time without ever having a plot.
-
Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
The movie's lame, but I'm inclined to agree with the kids on the Internet Movie Database message boards that Lohan could beat the crap out of Hillary Duff in a grudge match.
-
Jim Shelby, Palo Alto Weekly
If Disney Pictures is looking to pander to the lowest urges of emerging girlhood, they have succeeded in this tacky and boring after-school special.
-
Sean Burns, Philadelphia Weekly
We go home wondering exactly what lessons movies like these are supposed to be teaching our children.

CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE DRAMA QUEEN, like many Disney flicks, is teenage Hollywood fluff. Nothing special (or good) at all.

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 come… More
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 come 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 <i>"Freaky Friday"</i> so imagine how disappointed I am (on Lindsay Lohan). And look at her clothes.<b> WHO WAS THE DESIGNER FOR THOSE UGLY OUTFITS?</b> 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 <i>pointless</i>. 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 <i>favorite</i> 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… More
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 moments 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.

Very average Lindsay Lohan vehicle - she's ok in this, but her character is rather conceited and annoying. The film also doesn't have the comedy or pathos of <i>Freaky Friday</i> nor the spirit or bite of <i>Mean Girls</i>. The best part of the film is also what it's structured around, to the effect that what comes before is build-up (of a sort) and what happens after is uninteresting: Lola (Lohan) gets to met her idol, lead singer of pop-group Sidarthur, Stu (a bizarre Adam Garcia), only to have her romantic ideals of him (<i>"He's the greatest writer since Shakespeare!"</i>) shattered when she discovers he's a drunk loser. <p>There's a good film trying to get out of this mediocre effort, but the leaden writing, grating supporting performances from the adults and bland direction (the insertion of 'pop-up book' style sequences is soon abandoned in favour of made for TV production values) stop it from being anything but blah-ish. Admittedly I'm not exactly the target demographic for this kind of stuff; pre-teen and young teenage girls may very well love it.
-
Another Lohan vehicle, and while Mean Girls was bitingly top entertainment, here is a lifeless, stale teen drama that only appeals to the smallest niche of audiences. Its not bad, but its not that good either.
-
Why did I watch this twice? Terrible!
-
It's likeable but nothing special. Maybe skip it and watch Mean Girls again.

Rich girl goes to small town and has to adjust. She also lies a lot. There's no plot, instead she tries to go to a concert, then there's a school play, Megan Fox turns up and plays bitch. She then realises that she was alright and everything she had was right here or… More
Rich girl goes to small town and has to adjust. She also lies a lot. There's no plot, instead she tries to go to a concert, then there's a school play, Megan Fox turns up and plays bitch. She then realises that she was alright and everything she had was right here or something. There were some great costumes though.
