Lohan holds everything together with enthusiastic charm and airbrushed delights, while Pill is anything but bitter as a neurotic but ultimately reliable and honest friend. Certainly it’s all nothing new, just teenage pomp and circumstance, poured through a Disney filter to remove the profanity and sex we all remember front and center from our high school years yet doesn’t seem to exist in the universe of fluffy teen films.ĬoaTDQ is nowhere near the story quality of Mean Girls or the entertaining zaniness of Freaky Friday, so don’t expect too much on those fronts. There is a teenage nemesis for Lola and some parental oppression for Ella, but working together there is little they can’t accomplish. Everything revolves largely around Lola’s propensity to exaggerate her past in a theatrical way and Lola and Ella’s shared reverence for the band Sidarthur and their shared turmoil when the band announces that it is breaking. Stuff happens, including musical interludes, South Park-esque flashbacks made from glittery construction paper and floating photorealistic figures, and improbable costume changes for Lohan’s Lola. The deceleration of Lola’s life from 24-hour sensory bombardment to suburban tedium has her considering joining a suicide club at first, but then she makes quick friends in beautifully plain jane Ella (Alison Pill) and plain beautiful (I guess) Sam (Eli Marienthal) and gets a chance to show her inner dramatic persona in the school play. It focuses on the trials and tribulations of Mary Elizabeth Cep (as played by Lindsay Lohan, and won’t you please call her Lola?) as she leaves her personal center of the world (New York City) for a run-of-the-mill New Jersey suburb.
