Plot Summary: Lola's mom moves her from New York City to suburban New Jersey. Unhappy about the transition, eccentric Lola is determined to make a name for herself at her new school. Lola tries out for the big school production against the popular girl, Carla and ends up getting the lead role. During the course of rehearsals, Lola also schemes for a way to get tickets to her favorite rock band's concert and after-party in New York City. Carla, as the daughter of the rock band's lawyer, has tickets and Lola wants to prove that she is just as important and cool as her arch-nemesis. The Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen documents the adventures of Lola through all of her trials and tribulations.
Evaluation: (D) This movie was a little too cheesy and quite unrealistic. So overdone, in fact, I am not quite sure if this rendition does the book justice. Additionally, the love story was completely random and thrown in at the end of the movie. This is a Disney movie, however, which may help to explain its cheese-factor. The one highlight of the movie was the school production for its uniqueness and comical script and delivery.
