Confessions of a Sociopathic Social Climber

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!

This film is about a woman who does everything to climb up the social ladder, and pretends to be someone who she isn't.

I bought this film for 1 pound, and it was not even second hand. Hence, I did not have much expectations for it.

It is obvious that this is made for TV. The close ups are too close that the face occupies 95% of the screen. The way the camera moves between Frangiapani and Katja in the Indian restaurant looks more like a soap opera than a film. The film is so full of cliché. The obligatory gay friend who is constantly suicidal is too over the top that is almost derogatory.

Despite all these shortcomings, I confess that I enjoyed the film. It is fun, brain-off film that makes you forget your troubles. Jennifer Love Hewitt looks stunning in the film. It's a comedy that works!

Katya (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.

Jennifer Love Hewit is hilarious as sexy superficial Katya Livingston, a she's kinda played this role before as her character is very similar to her one in Heartbreakers. But still i think she's very funny. Confessions, has a simple plot, a sexy Young socialite, who believes everything can be done fabulously! During this film Katya tries desperately to get into the biggest party of the season, The royal Ball. One problem, the host-est,Dove, hasn't invited her, as she hates her blah blah blah. Anyways its hilarious watching Katya stop at nothing to get in, even almost ruining things with her true love! The highlight of the film for me was Joseph Lawrence, he is so funny as Furguson, Katya's gay best friend. I think this was a brave role for him, seeing as most of the characters he's played have been, tough macho men. This proves how talented he really is, i would recommend this film to people purely for his performance. Plus i think he pulls of the bald look very well! Bald or with hair, he's still hot!

This 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.
