Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004)
My opinion about COATD!
Maybe some spoilers*********** Okay, to begin with the books were much better in my opinion. This is because they explored the characters in a lot more depth than they did in the film. I liked most of the actors in the film however... I think it could have been done a lot better with the same actors but a better screenplay. I thought some of the lines were very silly such as Megan Fox's line: "I'd stay and chat... but I don't wanna stay and chat". Also the film made some bizarre jumps with the plot, particularly Lola and Sam's kiss at the end, which seemingly came out of nowhere. My favourite part of the film which kept me watching was Megan Fox's character Carla Santini, I thought she was fun, however I wish she'd had more screen time.. yes she had some silly and lame lines but for goodness sake the poor woman didn't write the script did she? A lot of people say she is very beautiful and while I'm not disagreeing with them I feel that she is unconventionally striking looking rather than 'beautiful'. I think she has rather cold looking eyes but this was appropriate to the character she was playing... Okay I'm starting to ramble a bit, so I guess what I'm going to say in this comment is by all means see the film but also read the books in order to appreciate the full perspective of the story which is were the film falls somewhat short...
The Wonderful World of Disney: Child Star: The Shirley Temple Story (2001)
Absolutely dreadful!
This was an appallingly bad film! Ashley Rose Orr was horrible, she had none of Shirley Temple's charm AT ALL! Those ghastly smiles she would do when she scrunched up her piggy little eyes in a way that I think was 'supposed' to be cute and make the audience go - "aahhhh bless!" It just made me want to slap her. She must have simpered "oh my goodneth!" about a hundred times throughout the film. Also she could barely utter a sentence without accompanying it with a fake giggle. Horrible HORRIBLE film .. If I could rate it minus 10, I would. Don't waste your money on this piece of rubbish, go out and buy a genuine Shirley Temple film!
