In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

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.

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......

In the world we are living nowadays, it's sadly at times that appearances matter before everything else. And watching it being played out, maybe kind of funny and a little poignant as well.Katya Livingston (Jennifer Love Hewitt) is a 28-year-old advertising executive who will do anything to climb up the San Francisco's social ladder. Though she is an asset to the advertising company she works for, she has always been wanting to live it up and be part of the thick of things in the San Francisco's socialite scene.When it became very clear that she was not invited to a ball, she was clearly furious and had been trying means and ways to crash into it after even learning her own friends are being invited. In the midst of all these things, Katya had been trying to search for her Mr. Right and though her friend in the office told her that what Katya wanted is only all in her dreams, the latter insisted that her Mr. Right is really out there.And it happened to be the one she once met at the lift lobby at the place where she works. She soon learnt the name is Charles (Colin Ferguson).On the day of the ball, Katya's two friends managed to find a way out for her to enter. And when the hostess saw Katya, catfight ensued before it was revealed later in a speech presentation which Katya has to make (the ball was the benefit of the poor African children and Katya happened to have adopted a son from Uganda) that whatever she did was the sake to be part of the social scene. And she is not as perfect as what everyone else thinks.So, did Katya eventually get what she really wanted in the end? Well, unless you are watching it.This is like one of those kind of slapstick comedies I had expected. Recommeded for those who like some fun and laughs.

i really enjoyed watching this film, i think that the acting was fantastic and both actors and actresses were very good. The plot of the story was based on a very good book that i also enjoyed reading by the fabulous author Adele Lang. The film was inspiring and was a great laugh and would be enjoyed by many people. I specially enjoyed Katya Livingston's gay best friend who really amused me and really made the film worthwhile. The film is very different from the book confessions of a sociopathic social climber as maybe is not as good as the ending is very different in the book and oxygen film companies changed that and made it worse as in the book there is no happy ending and things turn out a lot different. but overall i think that the film was a worthwhile watch and would very much like to see it again!
