Movie Reviews of Confessions of a Teenage Drama QueenMovie Review: Mood Lifter that is good to eat food and lounge too. Summary: 5 Stars
Oh yes, when you are tired and feeling particularly lazy on a Sunday afternoon this movie is an instant mood lifter that lends itself to eating ice cream Sundays and talking on the phone while you are watching because you don't have to pay particular attention to plot or character development in order to enjoy the pretty outfits, hilarious scenes and absolute truth of this glaringly brilliant psychodrama about a 15-17 year old girl who recently changed high schools. First off, Lindsay Lohans confidence and pretty outfits ease the audience by reminding them that her family will never come under financial straights (note the extreme fortune one would have to possess in order to carry on such an imense wardrobe) during the movie so you don't have to worry about a tedious commentary on class structure. Second, the physical maturity and the borderline R rated behavior and theme of the movie coupled with the simultaneous innocence and clandestine sexuality of the main characters put the teenage characters in a chronological limbo whereby the audience cannot dicern and give evidence to support the exact age of said characters. This allows male members of the audience to oggle the preponderance of mammary tissue exhibited by the protagonists with impunity because the characters are sexually mature(17) while the female audience can right off the innocence and naivete of the protagonists as being the result of young age (15). Thirdly, the relaitionship of the protagonists as portrayed by allison pill and lindsey lohan is absolutely entertaining, right on, pitch perfect and brilliantly scripted. In effect this becomes a buddy movie which preaches that no one in the high school hiearchy is down-trodden or abused if they have their own group of friends who support them and interact with them in a respectful manner. Lindsay lies to Allison, but when Allison confronts Lindsay about her trespass in verity Lindsay respectfully apologizes and they become stronger friends as a result which is what happens in real life. Fourth, Adam Garcia is absolutely awesome as the lead singer for Sidarther, because he is a really funny dudley mooresque drunk who deserves more wide acclaim. Fifth, the bright colors, hot outfits, fit girls and healthy complexions make this a great movie in which to forget the dark colors of the night, your drabby clothes, sagging waistline and aging skin so you can just munch the night away and bask in the glow of a well made trip back into the carefree wold of adolescent teenage girls.
Summary of Confessions of a Teenage Drama QueenFrom the studio that brought you the smash hits FREAKY FRIDAY and THE PRINCESS DIARIES, CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE DRAMA QUEEN stars Lindsay Lohan (FREAKY FRIDAY) in a hip and hilarious coming-of-age comedy for the whole family! When the always dramatic Lola (Lohan) and her family move from the center of everything in New York City to the center of a cultural wasteland in suburban New Jersey, she feels her life is simply not worth living! But no matter who or what gets in the way, Lola won't give up on her life's ambition: to be a star! In a crowd-pleasing movie treat bursting with music, dance, and excitement, Lola's fun-filled adventure won't be glamorous or easy, but it might just show her that real life could exceed even her wildest dreams! Tucked into the middle of Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen is a charming sequence in which two girls from New Jersey (Linsay Lohan and Alison Pill) try to go to a rock concert in New York and have their illusions broken, then restored, and then broken, just a bit, again. Lola (Lohan) yearns for glory by playing the lead in the high school play and getting to meet the lead singer of a band called Sidarthur. Despite the spiteful efforts of a popular girl, Lola gets everything she wants without much of a struggle. Most of the movie takes place in a glitzy but flavorless high-school world with glossy teenagers dressed like a less discriminating Christina Aguilera. Pill (Pieces of April) shines in the thankless role of the geeky best friend. Also featuring Glenne Headley (Dick Tracy) and Carol Kane (Office Killer). --Bret Fetzer
