What to Know

Critics Consensus

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen's superficial tendencies are unlikely to appeal to older viewers -- though its colorful candor is decidedly not intended for them in the first place.

See more Alexandrea Nicole P 11/07/2024 NGL, "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" is the perfect title for this movie. However, with its meandering plot & lackluster direction, Confessions falls short from being rememberable after half an hour. I understand the general message of "just being you is enough", but I do wish the movie was better constructed for us to care more about the story. I feel like there were more interesting focuses or merged scenes that could have been edited from the school, NY, etc. The main good points is Lola, as a character and dialogue, as pure unfiltered dramatic camp, the catchy 5 minute musical number by the end of the film (which most kids at the time probably expected this movie to entail), and the best friend who plays a grounded counterpart to our protagonist. I honestly just didn't know where we were heading with this movie - and i did get frustrated at times. But, this movie holds a soft spot due to being one of my memorable childhood movies. So, this is its biased score. See more Dale R 07/07/2024 Based on a novel by Dyan Sheldon and starring Lindsay Lohan as a compulsive liar who wants to meet her favorite rock star. I am not the target demographic for this movie as it is obviously targeting teenage girls. The story at its core is “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” story, but with a teenage girl in modern times. My biggest problem with the story was that this “boy” didn’t lose his flock after lying repeatedly. Instead she feels bad for herself for a night, then gets the boy and defeats the villain. Acting wise Lohan does great as does Megan Fox in her theatrical debut. I have seen a few of these movies that are targeting a younger female demographic and at this point they have become formulaic. This film was complete with a getting dressed montage, and a pop concert ending. If you like Lindsay Lohan as an actress or are a teenage girl this movie is worth checking out, otherwise skip it.
