 DVD Verdict Review - Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen is a fun, engaging film, and although it follows some predictable story conventions, it does so with quirkiness and wit—which, frankly, I didn't expect to see in a live-action Disney film.
In that sense the film depicts her coming of age, but the bitterness of her newfound knowledge is tempered by an affirmation of the strength of her own determination and idealism: Her idol may not be all she expected, but she can actually exert a positive influence on him.
The defendant has confessed to the charge of being a drama queen, but she has also learned the error of her ways and promises to be a model citizen from this point on.

In the case of the latter film, the foul odour comes from the sentimentality in which all similar teenage films are relentlessly plunged.
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, which probably targets people who would have found the legal issues at stake in the Witherspoon films too complex, treats its characters as parodies but its plot as a very serious romantic comedy.

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, all together, was a well-put film that truly entertained me (and just about everyone else in the theatre).
Lindsay Lohan plays Lola, a hip Greenwich Village teenager who moves to a new school in a Jersey suburb, where she faces Carla Santini, a girl claiming to be the most popular girl at her school, a title that Lola must have no matter what.
Baggoli, the drama teacher begins casting for the school production of "Pygmalion", she decides to "update it" by staging the material in hip hop and Lola, who is competing against the favorite Carla, wins the role of Eliza.

 Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen @ modzine.com
All we know is that it’s about the drama queen in question, Lola, (Lohan) whose mother (the wonderful, and still beautiful, Glenne Headly) moves her family from New York City to a New Jersey suburb.
Confessions, as a whole, might be a career-killer for any teenage actress, regardless of the Disney logo, as it dedicates its entire running time to a character who is, when you get right down to it, overly unlikable.
Lost in Translation, I thought “Good, instead of playing a high school teenager, she’s actually playing a character the same age as she.” In the film, she plays a 22, 23 year-old married woman bored in a Tokyo hotel while her photographer husband is out shooting “lock” stars.

 Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004) - A Review by David Nusair
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen is unapologetically geared towards the tween crowd, all other audiences be damned.
The film casts Lohan as Lola, a melodramatic teenager with a flair for concocting outrageous stories (ie she tells everyone that her very-much-alive father died after crashing into a pizza truck while delivering flowers on a motorcycle).

 MovieFreak.com - "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" DVD Review
A lot of the disappointment of this film lies in its direction, as Sara Sugarman not only tries and fails to mix tones described above, but there is no rhythm to the pacing or editing, and the few stylistic touches she attempts to add, an unusual camera angle or use of slow-motion, feel ill-placed.
One wonders where the film trailer is and I feel this package might have been helped by also adding something like a choreography spotlight.
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen is strictly for the tweens.

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen is a lively production about teenage angst, rock idol crushes and life lessons, populated with splashy musical numbers and great costume changes.
For Teenage Drama Queen, the studio picked the up-and-coming Welsh director Sara Sugarman (Very Annie Mary), a self-proclaimed recovering drama queen herself, who infuses the film with right amount of joie de vivre while keeping things in vogue for the MTV generation, especially with the musical numbers and Lola's dream sequences.

It’s a lot of pressure on a teenage girl whose big goals in life are to regain the popularity she had in NYC and to develop an acting career.
By film’s end, however, she remarks, “Absolute reality can be more fun than fantasy.” Lola also has a problem with lying, but it’s made clear that dishonesty has consequences (unfortunately, when she lies about having concert tickets, there are none).
As the film winds down, a sober Stu tracks Lola down and informs her that he is "in recovery again.” He further explains that it was she who helped him get back on the right path.

 Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen review (2004) - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
Teenage girls may find a soft spot for Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, but very few outside of that demographic need apply.
Certainly her performance will please her biggest fans, as she acts, dances and sings throughout the film, although one can only wonder what such outfits are doing in the middle of a Disney film (high school has changed a lot since my time, I suppose).
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen is a film that would be more at home playing on the Disney channel than as a big motion picture release, but they did manage to cast Lohan as a result and the film did make some modest profit in the theaters.

 deseretnews.com - Movie review: Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen | Deseret Morning News Web edition
There's more filler than substance in "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen." And that's really saying something — specifically, that the makers of this girl-power comedy chose to pad it out with musical numbers, supposedly comedic-but-actually-just-silly interludes and fantasy sequences, rather than concentrating on story, character and logic.
It doesn't help that the character she's playing is sort of unlikable — particularly when she's whining to her far-too-understanding mother and even lying to her best friend.
"Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" is rated PG for scenes of slapstick violence (pratfalls and a brief catfight), as well as some mildly vulgar humor (including a bird-droppings gag).

To hear her describe herself, Mary Cep is "a flamingo in a flock of pigeons." In Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Mary is a sixteen year old girl with an unusual wardrobe and a flair for the dramatic.
The film follows Lola through teenage crisis after teenage crisis, all exaggerated to ridiculous heights by the drama queen herself.
Being in the presence of a drama queen may be amusing at first but it gets old very quickly.

 DVD review of Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen - DVD Town   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The trouble with reviewing a film like Disney's 2004 release "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" is that it was clearly intended for an audience of young teenage girls, and most reviewers like myself are anything but young teenage girls.
Next, there's a behind-the-scenes featurette, "Confessions from the Set," which lasts a total of six minutes, just about long enough to be labeled an extended promotional for the film.
"Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" follows the standard operating procedure for a girl's teenage comedy so strictly that it seems like it must be teasing itself.

I can imagine how popular this film will be with a certain set of teenagers, but frankly I have had enough of this type of cheap Hollywood 'feel-good' film.

 Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004)
A teenager moves with her family from trendy Manhattan to the New Jersey suburb of Dellwood.
So appealing in Freaky Friday, Lohan continues her pluck in this frequently fun, certainly bouncy, but ultimately disappointing frolic, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, which was directed by British filmmaker Sara Sugarman—who's last film was the under-seen indie Very Annie Mary.
The film is a showcase for Lohan, who's outfits are often so sexy you have a hard time believing at least the BOYS in the school wouldn't be lining up around the mall to watch her shop the newest Forever 21 find (or rather, Frederick's of Hollywood).

I was thinking that maybe Hillary Duff's mother had script approval for "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen," as a way of explaining why Lindsay Lohan's new movie fails on so many levels, but I think screenwriter Gail Parent is going to have to take the rap on this one.
At the beginning of the film we have Lola's imaginative revision of what happened when her mother dragged her away from her beloved New York City to live in the wasteland that is Dellwood, New Jersey.
Like most of the other key moments in "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" the way the war between Lola and Carla plays out is so obviously set up that you do not get to enjoy either the anticipation of the moment or its actual execution.

 Film Review: Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen
In the run-up to the school play, which is the film's disappointing climax, there are assorted fashion emergencies, a few stroppy incidents with nagging parents and an obligatory dance-off between the two female rivals.
The action, one suspects, is supposed to reflect the everyday dramas in a teenage girl's life, but the "comic episodes" are tedious and half-baked at best and ridiculously overdone at worst.
Her self-assuredness and natural charm makes the cringe-worthy musical numbers seem almost bearable and, for a young teenager, she pulls off a red glitter mini-dress and showgirl stilettoes with illegal degrees of sassiness.
