	Media	Author	Review
		Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"At a time when crassness and dumbing down pervade popular entertainment, especially movies aimed at youthful audiences, 'Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen' dares to be smart."
		Dave Kehr The New York Times	"Modest, mildly engaging film"
		Dennis Harvey Variety	"Minimally funny comedy feels like a Disney Channel pic that got boosted to theatrical after Lohan scored a hit opposite Jamie Lee Curtis in the 'Freaky Friday' remake"
		Jami Bernard New York Daily News	"A safely sanitized comedy with an important message about loyalty and individuality, plays to Lohan's strengths and gives the target audience a chance to live it up vicariously"
		Keith Phipps AV Club	"Doesn't have a mean bone in its body, but it's so sloppily assembled that even Lohan's charm can't keep it together."
		Claudia Puig USA Today	"This junior chick flick merely reinforces superficial clichés one associates with female teens: petty fights, intense highs and lows, and self-absorption"
		Robert K. Elder Chicago Tribune	"It breaks director Billy Wilder's most important movie commandment: Thou Shall Not Bore."
