[edit] Plot summary
Lola (Lindsay Lohan), a teenager, moves with her family from New York City to the suburbs in New Jersey. Her self-centered attitude then gets a reality check as she begins to realize she must compete against the already popular girl, Carla (Megan Fox). She befriends an unpopular girl named Ella, as they both share a love for the fictional band Sidarthur, whose lead singer, Stu (Adam Garcia), Lola has a crush on. Lola tries out for the school play, a modern version of Pygmalion named "Eliza Rocks". After getting the part of Eliza over her brand-new enemy Carla, the resentment between them grows. To get revenge against Lola, Carla then gets tickets to Sidharthur's sold-out farewell concert. Lola tries to get tickets as well in order to upset Carla. After failing to obtain tickets legally, Ella and Lola take a train to New York City in order to buy tickets from a scalper. But things don't go as well as they thought. Lola had left her bag behind the sink on the train, and so don't have enough money to pay the scalper for illegal tickets. They try to get in, but a bouncer stops them. They walk the streets trying to find Stu's after-show party, but Lola's dad is following them; however, he promises to back off. They finally get in and have some fun. At the end, Carla Santini is having a party when Stu turns up, trying to find Lola. The last scene shown is about Lola and Sam, kissing in front of a fountain in Carla's house.
