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.

I usually detest Jennifer Love Hewitt. Especially after the horrid "The Truth About Love" which I (very unfortunately) happened to watch.But I must say I was pleasantly surprised by Ms Hewitt in this movie. It wasn't so bad, and in fact, was pretty good if I might add. The movie doesn't make any pretensions about what it's supposed to be i.e. a good, funny, light-hearted piece of fluff. Didn't feel like a made-for-TV movie at all too. I watched it when I was feeling kinda down and it actually did the trick.Watch it for the air-headed humor, JLH's wardrobe (which fully capitalised on her "bosom buddies", as always), and the zippy dialog.Oh..and the scene at the fountain with Katya and Charles was really really sweet. Rather believable too. Now, if only I can be as witty as Katya Livingston when I'm sitting at the fountain, munching on a hot dog with my ultimate dream guy......

SPOILERS THROUGH:I didn't much like this one even though Love-Hewett shines as the social climbing Katya. I think the movie had it's moments but by and large it doesn't take itself seriously through most of it and takes itself to seriously at the end. The result is a movie that maybe moderately fun to watch at times, but doesn't ever rise to being really good, mainly because it's trying to be all things(satire, comedy, romance.) I wish it had chosen a direction and stuck to it.One of the things I really disliked is the whole adopt a child story. This is by and large a comedy and that seems to serious a subject to bring into a comedy/satire. It was rather baffling. Then there's the movie's comedy overall. The comedic aspects of this movie weren't really all that funny, in fact there was some gross stuff, and many an obnoxious moment as well. One gets the feeling this movie really wanted to be a clever satire on the rich and privileged but it never really becomes original and in a movie like this originality would have been welcomed. I was actually wincing at times, there were a lot of predictable jokes and the humor at many times, fell flat.The romantic part of the movie didn't make a whole lot of sense since it happened so abruptly and was rather unbelievable but by this point much of the movie is unbelievable so you kind of go with it. Plus, one positive is the two romantic leads do actually have oodles of chemistry and that helps the story.The speech at the end can be predicted. This is the kind of movie that one might respond to the ending but think "cmon!!" at the same time. Also not much is done with the supporting cast. There's a whole array of fun sassy characters who it would have been fun to see developed and given some type of storyline. Everyone exists as Love-Hewit's costars but Hewitt herself doesn't have a lot to do at first except stomp around buying things and annoying people. So, for me anyway, there's a lot about this movie that fell flat. That being said, it's still watchable and has some cute moments. But it isn't a movie I'd recommend or say is a must see. I'm always up for satires and comedies but this one didn't quite do it for me. Cheers for Hewitt though, she always rocks! My vote's around 5 out of 10.

Blech! Ms. Hewitt demonstrates more cleavage than talent and an enormous assortment of bras.The plot is pointlessly humorless: set piece after set piece. . .each less amusing than the previous. Some films are so bad they're funny, but this is one is so bad it's more than a waste of time; say rather it is about as much fun as passing pencils.This was on the movie channel one rainy morning and there was nothing else to watch. Frankly, I considered going out to mow the lawn at the ten minute mark, but I didn't want to hurt the lawn-mower.Pass.
