This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Cute movie... But it brings up memories of another movie: Married to the Mob. With just a few alternations (Crimes of Fashsion was obviously aimed at a younger audience), it has the same premise. Girl connected to the mob being trailed by a cop who falls for her. Overall, I'd say it falls short of ABC Family's originality, though this isn't the first time(how many TV reruns have they picked up? Gilmore Girls, Boy Next Door, 8 Simple Rules, Full House, Sabrina, etc.) Miss Kaley does deserve a nod but again, not her best work. The ending also is anti-climatic. So, I would recommend this movie to anyone who doesn't mind a clichéd film.

I thought this was a really cute ABC Family movie. Some of it was unrealistic or cheesy but I still loved it! I have to watch it every time it's on and I think the acting's great! It's a good story too, lets you escape from the realism of everyday life. Most everything in this doesn't happen in real life. But you could wish it did lol. All I have to say is just don't take the movie too seriously when watching it. Expecting an Oscar worthy movie will not make you like this. Just relax and take a break when you watch this. I'd totally recommend this to anyone!7/10

I loved Boss Girl! I thought Kaley was awesome in it! She took the role and really made it her own, and it definitely shows a different side of her other than the ditsy blonde on 8 Simple Rules. Funny, Cute, Romantic, Predictable (mainly just the part about her grandpa and Donny and some of the plot like the fashion show wasn't predictable) but otherwise a very awesome movie for the television. If they added a bit more to the plot i think they could've made it into a big screen movie! One of the only real problems I had with this movie is how Kaley Cuoco looks so young in it but her love partner(in the end), played by Pat Kelly, looks like he was maybe 10 - 15 years older than Kaley. It made it look a little off but otherwise in the nd I give this movie a 9 out of 10.

I just saw this on ABC Family and it was overall delightfully cheesy and predictable. After watching the Sopranos it's hard to see gangsters as warm and cuddly. While going straight is part of the plot, that implies that there was a life of crime before including violent crime. They never really deal with this effectively even a cheesy way.Throughout the script they tell the audience instead of show the audience.I believe in comparing a movie to it's genre. On a one to ten scale with "The Princess Diaries" being a 9 I would give this one a 8 if it wasn't for the bad editing and some story problems which brings it down to a 6.Some things don't flow well which leads me to believe they edited out large chunks to put in more commercials. If that's the case then maybe they can reedit it to make a better version.
