Worth Watching? No.

When the teenager Mary Elizabeth Cep, a.k.a. Lola, moves with her mother and two younger twin sisters from New York to the suburb of Dellwood, New Jersey, she has the feeling that her cultural and entertaining world ended. 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.

Out of many of Lindsey Lohan's films, why should this be the overlooked one? I barely heard it at all when it was released and was greatly ignored by people. Well, I decided to watch it and it's "Mean Girls" minus five. This film is ironically very similar to the movie "Mean Girls" yet it wasn't as popular. Well, this film wasn't that good.

You know the movie where it gets people talking after you finish watching it? You know that movie that has a well written script? This isn't that movie. You immediately forget about it after five minutes of the ending and you have felt you've wasted about 90 minutes of your life.

While I'm being harsh, I would like to say I like the last fifteen minutes of the film. The first hour and fifteen minutes was at least decent to very bad, in a good way. When the film is bad, you merely enjoy it rather than suffer through it. When the film is decent, you pay attention. And when the film is good, you will give this a chance, just like I did.

One very good thing I like is the music performance at the end. I feel it was a waste of talent, though. Lindsay Lohan's performance was decent, although it feels the same like "Mean Girls".

This is a very forgettable film. It's not as funny as you expected it will be. The movie should have never been made. It felt like an excuse to make a film to cash in just because Lohan is a star. If you really want to watch this, rent it. It's nothing special but nothing horrible, either.
