I am not a mother. Nor am I a Christian. But I knew before I even got halfway through this film that Lola is the antichrist! HAHAHA. Seriously, I expected this film to be as bad as "A Cinderella Story". Folks this is not just bad
this must be the most immoral film to ever be done by Disney! I am speechless as to how wrong this film was, I must write a looooong rant!!!
Lola is the worst Disney protagonist ever! She is in no ways different from Carla. Lola is just as self-centered and worse, she lies. At least 99% of what Carla does in this film she earned without lying. I felt so sorry for Ella. She allowed someone like Lola, who only cares about doing what it takes to take over the popularity circuit, to tell her how to live her life just because she is not popular herself. Every minute I'm like "Ella, please, please, snap and just bitch-slap her!" I was disappointed when all we got from Ella was a fit about Lola lying about her father which died in a few minutes.
Now in "A Cinderella Story" when Sam got humiliated you knew she didn't deserve it from day one. But you cannot tell me that when we get to 'Lola's Low Point' that she did not deserve it! But then again, the whole band thing was unbelievable. I would've been like so you may or may not have met some rock star who cares? And she almost loses her part in the play and decides to go home and cry about just because no ones believes her. OH BOO-HOO. WHY DIDN'T ELLA SLAP HER BACK TO REALITY THEN?!!! And Lola and Ella's obsession with that band is just messed up it almost made me sick.
How can Ella and Sam survive being around Lola for one second without being wierded out?!! What made me even angrier was that Sam was in love with her. Sam deserves someone better, not a lying selfish, not to mention weird, bitch who thinks that everyone's a retard so getting what she wants wont be difficult!
Then I smirked as we got near the end when you know that Disney was just putting in stuff to cover up this evil character like telling a rock star he's drunk and get him on rehab the next day? OH PLEASE!!! This I learned from reality: 99.9% of all people who get drunk WILL DENY IT!
Oh yeah, and no tweenie film would be complete without the whole "believe in yourself" phrase. It worked for "A Cinderella Story" because it was actually relevant to the plot. They just tossed the phase somewhere near the end of this film and then pulled off their own 'Cinderella-ending'. And we don't even know if Lola learned to stop treating people like retards. The ending has some okay moments but some bad ones (No, Sam! Stay away from Lola!!!)
So as bad as most tweenie films are, this should've never seen daylight. Girls do not learn to believe in themselves (or that drinking is wrong). They learn to believe in the idea that they can get whatever they want because the world revolves around them (that sounds kinda like Disney right now!)
In my opinion this would've worked better as a PG13 rated parody flick with lots of teen sex. It amazes me that "Mean Girls" was a lot more believable and moral despite being made for older audiences. As for what "Confessions" was originally intended to be it has failed in every spot, not to mention become the worst influence on adolescence, period. Funny because the stereotypes in "Confessions" were low compared to other films.
