Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Less than zero.
Review: I would love to give this movie zero stars if I could. Jennifer Love Hewitt for such a popular actress has a proclivity for consistenly exposing her lack of genuine talent. Jennifer Love is a cute girl who relies on a child-like simplicity to perform all her roles to date, and in "Telling You" she is as vapid and air-headed as usual; "Trojan War", "Can't Hardly Wait", "Heartbreakers" et al.

This movie has a very boring plot and really bad direction, it is long-winded and not funny, thus none of the actors are served by it.

Dash Mihok was great in the movie "Whiteboyz" but he has nothing to work with in this poor screenplay.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: not that great
Review: Ok...first off, was the budget so low on this one that they couldnt explain what was supposedly happening?(thankfully they wrote it on the back of the rental box), and Jennifer Love Hewitt was barely in this, although she is listed as one of the main characters...ditto for matthew lillard! If they had JLH and ML in this movie more it probably would've been more of a comedy, cuz they were hilarious in their little parts. Obviously the ppl who made the film put their names on the front in order to cash in. This movie has some moments, but it is really pointless and you're always saying a good part is going to come, but it doesn't. Perhaps if this had been made a big shot film company rather than an indie one, it would've been better...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great movie for young adults (not teens.)
Review: Someone who reviewed this movie said that it was not a a good teen movie. I don't think it is a teen movie at all. I saw this movie with a friend of mine and we both loved it. I have recently finished college and I have been going through some of the things that the people in the movie go through. I have been running into people that I haven't seen since high school and it is ackward and sometimes I don't want to see them. The part of the movie with the homeless man telling the Rime of the Ancient Mariner was a little bit strange, but all in all it was a great movie for recent college grads coming home.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I'm telling you this movie sucks!
Review: Take a group of college graduates - 2 of them work at a pizza place. They lose $1100 of their bosses money....panic what should we do? lets throw a party...the end! The cast is really good but they are wasted on a the story. The story may seem OK but there are too many long pointless conversations and boring moments which left me reaching for the ff button on my remote. Theres nothing really going on in the movie...if there is it takes forever to get going.
If you're a hard core Jennifer Love Hewitt or Peter Facinelli fan then this will be bearable...if not just catch it on tv!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great movie that could of used a little bit more love.
Review: Telling you is a cool and interesting movie. Peter Facinelli is great and all the other characters are fun too. Mathew Lillard is a bad ass who is quite funny. The only reason this movie didn't score a 5 in my eyes is that the movie didn't feature Jennifer Love Hewitt enough. I think that the movie would have been much better with Love as more of a main character. But even without her in the movie alot, I thought that it was a great movie and that's why I rated it a 4.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another great Facinelli/ Love Hewitt match- up!
Review: Telling You, starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, Peter Facinelli, and Matthew Lillard is a great SNL type comedy. Love Hewitt and Facinelli (together in Can't Hardly Wait also) have another great comedy out! Phil(Facinelli) is being stalked by his overly- prissy ex- flame Deb(Love Hewitt). The movie has some other side plots too. Very entertaining! Buy it or rent it today!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: missed a good chance
Review: The director should take the blame on this one. Obviously somehow he got his hands on a good script with fairly amusing dialogue, cast good actors who were able to keep it floating most of the time (particularly when the director himself isn't in the scene), but the actores are left alone out there. There's no pacing, no mind behind the telling of the story. Looks like a vanity production for the little director guy who dropped himself in scenes. What happened? Couldn't get cast in a project with someone else's money on the line? Stay away from the biz, director. If another co-writer ever takes you on again, be thankful.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Well, it was good!!
Review: The only thing I didn't like about this awesome movie is that stupid guy who showed up twice in the movie. He's tall(just to describe, not that tall means anything) and he can't act worth beans. He made the movie worse in those appearences, luckily, it was only twice and that's what saved the movie. That, and JLH was absolutely amazing!! She was the best! 4 stars for her, and none for the movie! Plotwise, well this movie didn't have a strong plot, but was pretty funny! LIke when JLH falls off her bed answering the phone! The other actors weren't so good, especially the main actor! But this movie was good enough, mostly JLH, but what can you do, not much, see this, it's worth it!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's a great "Seinfeld" like movie
Review: This is a great movie about life in a modern day town. It is set primarily in a pizza shop, featuring two brothers, one who is trying to find the meaning of life and love while the other is trying to get away from it. The writers of the movie, who come from Massachusetts, filmed the movie to raise money for Leukimia pacients. The movie is basically about nothing. The plot is like a lot of SNL skits thrown together. Jennifer Love Hewitt, who most know as the kind, straight-foward, smart, girl next door in her movies, is an air-head fashion freak in this movie. She is still cute to watch. This movie is exciting all the way through. One will laugh and laugh. It is a great job done for an independent film. A

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Just plain bad!
Review: This is one of the worst movies that I have ever seen. It is extremely boring, the plot is full of holes, and worst of all it has Peter Facinelli. The saddest thing about the movie is that Jennifer Love Hewitt is actually a highlight!
