CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE DRAMA QUEEN

Mary Cep (Lindsay Lohan) — Lola to her friends — is a diehard New Yorker who in typical teenage fashion thinks the world revolves around her. When her mother moves the family out to New Jersey, it’s because the fates are clearly against her. But with typical teenybopper pluck, Lola sets about making a name for herself at her new school, even finding an enemy in the school’s token rich bitch (Megan Fox). The moral of this upbeat fairy tale? "Be yourself and you’ll get to hang out with your favorite rock star."

Working from Dyan Sheldon’s book, director Sara Sugarman builds a shiny-happy world (when her worried friend thinks they’re being followed, Lola blithely reminds the girl that the crime rate in New York is going down) where a happy ending is guaranteed. Lohan, so good as the uptight mother trapped in her daughter’s body in Freaky Friday, gets to cut loose here and play a free spirit, and she makes the most of Lola’s wackiness. Carol Kane is daft and sweet as the school drama teacher, but it’s Lohan’s show, and she almost saves the movie from its own fluffiness. This teenage drama queen just might turn into a real actress. (86 minutes)
