    Editorial Reviews

    Lindsay Lohan is not a Mean Girl in this adaptation of Dyan Sheldon's young adult book favorite. But she is an unappealingly self-absorbed "drama queen" who must suffer the slings and arrows of moving from her beloved New York City to suburban New Jersey. Mary, who insists on being called Lola, considers herself "a flamingo in a flock of pigeons." For Lola, it's all about "fighting against ordinariness," "living in style," and landing the lead role in her high school play, a contemporary adaptation of Pygmalion. In fact, she is only barely more tolerable than her requisite high school nemesis, the beautiful, popular, and rich Carla Santini (Megan Fox), who also feels entitled to center stage and whose father is the lawyer for Lola's favorite rock band. The most sympathetic character is Ella (Alison Pill), Lola's misfit best friend, especially when Lola manipulates her into crashing a rock concert and after-party so that she can meet her singing idol. It is a tribute to Lohan's considerable charm and likability that viewers don't lose all patience with Lola, although it is fun to anticipate her comeuppance, however light it turns out to be. Confessions is also enlivened by the always reliable Carol Kane as Lola's high-strung drama teacher, a lively pop soundtrack (including the requisite Lohan track), and director Sara Sugarman's surprising surreal flourishes illuminating Lola's fanciful view of the world.

    What Parents Need to Know

    About Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen

    Parents need to know that this movie has a couple of PG-level bad words. Of greater concern is that Lola lies, steals, and takes risks with very mild consequences, though she learns some lessons. She wears very skimpy clothes more revealing than even a free-spirited mother who throws pots for a living would permit. A character has an alcohol abuse problem. We see him drunk, and later he says he is getting treatment. In a very odd moment, Lola's big triumph comes when he returns her necklace to her in front of her friends, seen merely as proof that she told the truth when she said she had been at his party. No one questions why she was taking her necklace off at his apartment or whether she was doing anything risky or improper there.

    Families Can Talk About

    Families can talk about Lola's comment that she lied to make herself seem more interesting. Why does Carla pretend that she got the part she really wanted? Are there girls like Carla in your school and how do people feel about them? Why was Ella so surprised that her parents would let her go to the concert? How does Lola feel about Stu after she meets him?
