Anna Coleman (Lindsay Lohan) is a 15-year old average teenager with a stressful life due to her stodgy widowed mother, Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis), and 10-year old annoying younger brother, Harry (Ryan Malgarini). The conflicts revolve around: Tess' upcoming second marriage to Ryan (Mark Harmon), which Anna is not emotionally ready for because of her father's death three years before; Anna's pop rock band, Pink Slip, which Tess hates because according to Anna, she thinks that they are all noise; Anna's claims about her archrival, Stacey Hinkhouse (Julie Gonzalo), who doesn't stop tormenting her and has Tess convinced that she and Anna are still best friends like they used to be; and her sadistic English teacher, Mr. Elton Bates (Stephen Tobolowsky), who gives her an "F" on everything she does no matter how hard she tries. Tess also disapproves of Anna's crush, Jake (Chad Michael Murray), an older student.
