While in school, the displaced Lola becomes close friend of the unpopular Ella, who is also a great fan of the her favorite rock band Sidarthur. However, the most popular girl in the school, Carla Santini, disputes the lead role in an adaptation of Pygmalion with Lola and also the leadership of their mates. When the last concert of Sidarthur is sold-out, Lola plans with Ella to travel to New York and buy the tickets from scalpers. However, the girls get into trouble while helping the lead singer and Lola’s idol Stu Wolf, changing their lives forever.

Personal Review Points: 8/10

As cheesy as this film is - I think it’s fantastic. Lyndsey Lohan plays the lead role perfectly and reminds me of the typical teenager who always wants to get her own way. There’s a big lesson learnt in this story and Lola (played by Lohan) learns that she doesn’t have to pretend to be something she’s not for people to like her. Like most family films, the ending is a happy one and leaves you smiling - feeling please that everything turned out okay.

If you’re into family films with a little comedy mixed in, this would be perfect for you. It’s also quite glamorous. Lohan’s outfits always look unique yet fantastic, almost makes you jealous! The dance off scene is a little strange and unrealistic and the cartoons throughout the film give it a very childish twist, but considering the certificate, it makes sense why.

The cartoon scenes really ruined it for me personally and I think it gave that teenage flick a complete downgrade on maturity level. Of course - for the youngsters this would be the perfect film. I especially like Lola’s outgoing personality and crazy stories she makes up just to fit in. It also shows that when you lie it’ll always catch up with you in the end, no matter what you do to try and hide it.
