Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen is a 2004 American comedy film directed by Sara Sugarman and starring Lindsay Lohan. It was written by Gail Parent and is based on the book by Dyan Sheldon. It was filmed in various locations, primarily south-central Ontario. Its tagline was "So much drama, so little time."
Fifteen-year-old Mary "Lola" Steppe (Lindsay Lohan), desperate for attention, moves with her family from New York City to the suburbs of Dellwood, New Jersey, to her disapproval. Her self-centered attitude then gets a reality check as she begins to realize she must compete against the current popular girl in school, Carla Santini (Megan Fox). Lola makes friends with an unpopular girl named Ella Gerard as they both share a love for the fictional band Sidarthur (spelling as in script, however sometimes interpreted as Sidartha or Sid Arthur - possibly a play on Sid Vicious and Sidhartha), whose lead singer, Stu Wolf (Adam Garcia), Lola has a crush on, and Ella has a crush on Steve, the bassist
Lola tries out for the school play, a modern version of Pygmalion named "Eliza Rocks" because the teacher wanted to base it on a modern-day New Yorker with "modern, hip" music. The play uses David Bowie's song "Changes" as its main theme. After getting the part of Eliza over her brand-new enemy Carla, the resentment between the two grows. What comes next is an announcement over the radio that Sidarthur has broken up and that Stu Wolf does not ever want to work with the band again. Lola and Ella are devastated.
