Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Very well executed

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Jennifer Love Hewitt has always been the beautiful face I looked when watching an episode of the Drama Ghost Whisperer and the lady I always thought was never the greatest actress, but an actress with large potential in some projects. This is not one of them. Confessions of a Sociopathic Social Climber not only makes up it's own words, but pretty much uses every character/plot point we've seen in a Romantic Comedy, a straight forward Comedy, or a plain Drama. Her character is not only impossible to like, but also a bore and a plain drag to see on screen. Being a TV movie with the minimum length requirement of 85 minutes I thought to myself not to approach this movie in a hard way, but I have too. Its horrible and a dread to watch.While trying to be funny, it fails, and while trying to be smart, it's dumb. It can never be what it wants. Every character in this movie is a one dimensional mess who was taken straight out of another movie. Jennifer Love Hewitt's character makes you feel you're losing brain cells every time she comes on screen and her over the top, Prima Donna attitude gets incredibly annoying and almost makes it hard to concentrate. While the story is majorly cliché, so is, well, everything else in this jumbled up mess of a movie. Airing on Oxygen, this movie is clear not to have a big budget, but even lower budget films can do better than this. Confessions prove even TV films are less tolerable than bad mainstream ones.Katya Livingston (Hewitt) is an unlikable Prima Donna who has everything anybody could want, but she still wants more. After hearing about a party that "anybody who's anybody will be at" she can't resist but to somehow bumble her way and show some cleavage to get an invite. She pesters everyone and sucks up to anybody who can get her one step closer to the golden key invite to the party. In the meantime, she slacks on her job as an advertising executive promoting different shampoo products and currently promoting on "The San Francisco Treat" Rice-a-Roni. She loses touch on that to become more focused on her "current dream" of getting the invite.The "spoiled bitch" attitude gets old and tiresome. When making the protagonist unlikable the whole film and even when giving an apology to people she's hurt, still makes her the most hated person on the screen, its a wonder why we should focus or even give the slightest damn why she's in her position. Why do we care about some "I'm so pretty, you can't get me!" girl when one of the other characters could have had a better movie. Jennifer Love Hewitt's role is lackluster beyond belief making it a wonder why someone of her talent was chosen to play such a low grade, zero part.There isn't a ton to say about Confessions other than it's a lame, Oxygen TV film. Just because this one has no attract factor doesn't mean other TV films are the same. Lifetime originals like Lost Holiday: The Jim & Suzanne Shemwell Story and Girl, Positive are some of my favorites as far as Television films go and those are so well written they should have been in theaters. Confessions is a bitter movie with low grade acting and a story line to wake the dead. A stuck up girl who for once in a life can't have something she wants? We haven't seen that before, oh no! Starring: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Colin Ferguson, Natassia Malthe, Joseph Lawrence, and James Kirk. Directed by: Dana Lustig.

This may count as a spoiler, as some people may wish to watch a film before taking any opinion on it, but i feel i have to announce to the world that this is the worst film i have ever watched. The beginning is odd, to say the least, it's stretched, unfunny, copied and poorly written. The middle, if there is one, is of the story of a social climber, however, the lady in question, is already at the top of her social ladder- so why sis this film so called?. the ending, well the ending is pure drivel.The acting throughout is nothing better than one would expect from a school production.Continuously and unbelievably contrived.Its predictable, and was so badly produced i think it gave me ulcers. Does anyone agree? I don't see how anyone cannot.

Confessions seemed like a cute little chick flick based on a best selling novel so I gave it a try along with my beautiful girlfriend Sarah. We were both pleasantly surprised in the humorous and well performed low budget TV Film that I think could have easily been released theatrically without many changes at all. It far exceeded some of the other crap I've seen make it to theaters. I have no doubt that part of the film's charm and the reason why it works is female director Dana Lustig. Most certainly a male director could not have pulled off the same level of humor and content that Lustig manages. Definitely made with women in mind, I still enjoyed the humor of a woman who is more or less the most imperfect human being on the planet and gets what's coming to her while still becoming the hero in the end.Jennifer Love Hewitt is nearly astonishing as the delightfully horrible Katya Livingston. She's shallow, materialistic, self-involved, and not to mention a liar, thief and flakey. Not many take to her with the exception of her gay best friend. This is Hewitt's best role to date I think. She manages to be completely horrible to everyone and yet still be the heroine that you feel sorry for and root for. Colin Ferguson plays her love interest, her love god, Charles Fitz. If nothing else he's any woman's dream man. He's good looking, romantic, sentimental, and sensitive. His performance is good but not stand out. He's more there to be a pretty face and certainly accomplishes that. His chemistry with Hewitt and her character is very good which is something considering how awful her character is. Another surprise and stand out performance is the long missing return of none other than Joey...I mean...Joseph Lawrence...WHOA!! Lawrence plays Hewitt's gay best friend who is searching for love, Ferguson. Although his role is very small he plays gay very well (yes that's a compliment.) This is his best role possibly ever as well. Hewitt and Lawrence have great chemistry as well and he is comedy relief as well. Character actor Daniel Roebuck is great as Hewitt's boss and Sonja Bennett also does a good job in her small role as Eliza, Hewitt's other best friend and co-worker. The combination of a fun cast that really work well together and a good story that is also tons of fun makes this a nice little TV treat. It won't blow you away but it's fun and it'll surprise you with it's cute little characters. I think I would love to see Hewitt reprise this role again, in fact I think a TV Series or film series would be very profitable. The film is a little bit tasteless and dips into sexual promiscuity and really for Hewitt's character to find redemption is pretty far fetched but it's still worth seeing, especially if you've read the book because I would think it's a worthy follow up to reading the novel. 7/10

Saw this one the other night. I thought it was pretty funny. It stars Jennifer Love-Hewitt as Katya, an ad exec. with a couple close friends. She tries to talk to people throughout this movie trying to be the "in-crowd." She learns in the end that it's not really worth trying to be there after she meets a nice guy that falls for her. She ends up hurting him and regrets making a huge mistake. I like Love-Hewitt movies and the characters that she plays in them. I think this movie could/should be a DVD with some extras thrown in. Definitely a movie that you should watch with your partner after you put the kids to bed! 7/10 on this one!
