With me and a friend having enjoyed Heartbreakers,when we saw this on DVD for one pound,i thought it was worth a try.And while Hewitt does a very good performance,the film feels very empty.The Plot: Hewitt plays Katya Livingstton.A woman who works very high-up in a major advertising company.She finds out that there is a "Party of the year" coming up and the show is not on the guest list!(The might be due to ruining a wedding by letting a newly married couples husband put his head up her skirt!)So Katya feels that she must do everything she can to get an invite.But when she meets the man of her dreams,she has to decided if the man means More to her than the party..View on the film: The best part of the film is Hewitts performance.She does a very good job at being seen as a very mean woman,while saying some biting lines("My boyfriend was an Ewok in Star Wars!)The screenplay is by Eric Charmelo and Nicole Snyder,and the thing the ruins the film is that they make Katya look so rich,the you really don't care if she picks the party or the guy.Because there is no realness to her (eg:Bridget Jones)so it just makes you feel that she can just buy anything and any one from a high-street shop.Final view on the film: A very good performance by Hewitt,thats badly let down by a very hollow plot.
... View MoreKatya (Jennifer Love Hewitt) is an advertising executive with an abundance of talent. However, she is prone to coming in late, taking early and long lunches, and pursuing personal interests while at work. Most importantly, she is driven to become a somebody in San Fran and is constantly searching for that rich, high-profile husband. Oh, and she is ruthless to those who stand in her way. On the elevator, she meets a dreamboat named Charles (Colin Ferguson) but plays it cool. In the meantime, she is fixated with getting an invitation to THE social event of the season. One day, again on the elevator, Charles stops the contraption and insists she have dinner with him. She accepts. That big spender, Charles, he takes her out to sit by a fountain and snack on hotdogs from the stand. Is this man really the stepping stone to her big plans to be the "it" girl of this season and of those to come? Doris Day fans, beware. You will probably enjoy this romantic comedy, as I did, but this is not your mother's romcom. It has some risqué ideas and situations that make it a bit of a walk on the wild side, at times. However, Hewitt is adorable and beautiful as the girl with a mission and Ferguson is quite a pleasure as the love interest. The script has some marked originality, which is always welcome, and the costumes and San Francisco setting are to be greatly enjoyed. If you decide to watch this film, do make sure teenage girls are not hovering over your shoulder. This is not a good choice for impressionable girls. But, for those adult romance fans, add this one to your viewing list, by all means. True love and happy endings are still what most of us live for and this movie delivers on this account, yes.
... View MoreSaw 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!
... View MoreThis was a somewhat entertaining and silly piece of fluff that will keep you from being not too bored. JLH is again playing the perky and cute and always showcasing her assets in another forgettable flick. Here she plays a Paris Hilton type who does what it takes to be seen and her mission is to go to this Royal Ball that is the biggest event of the year. She hits a snag when she meets the man of her dreams and of course dramatic miscommunication ensues. The only comedic highlight is Joey Lawrence playing JLH's gay pal. Again, if you're bored or are a huge JLH fan then knock yourself out, but if not, you're not missing much.
