Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic indie film
Review: Dash Mihok, Matt Lillard, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Peter Facinelli are starring in this great indie film from Miramax. Great story, great cast performances. It's an incredible low-budget film. Well worth seeing. I look forward to seeing more of everyone who was involved in this film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nice Surprise
Review: Didn't expect too much from this film. Howeve I enjoyed it. Nice movie to sit back and watch with a date or just one of those late-nighters. Has some very funny moments. Although if your in it for the plot, look else where. But for a good time and a few chuckles check it out.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I do not recommend.
Review: Even the stunning Jennifer Love-Hewitt could not provide an uplifting performance to justify rating this movie any higher. It obtains this raiting simply because of content, not quality.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: great indie gem
Review: First of all, "viewer in Florida" sounds like total sour grapes to me. What have YOU ever done? Write, direct and star in your own feature film that was actually produced and made into a movie? Doubtful. "Telling You" was a great film with a lot of heart and some downright funny moments. I give "the little guy" you negatively refer to a whole lot of credit; he's realizing a dream -- what are you doing? BTW, Matt Lilliard is a comic delight.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: telling you
Review: from the summary on the back of the video tape the film sounded good - how wrong can you be! After 30 mins of suffering i turned the video off - but did finish watching it the next day but it was just as awful. The film is slow moving to the point that nothing really happens at all. The main actor was dreadful and the other actors that were good hardly got any on screen time. The cover for the video has 2 girls and 2 boys - the girls are on screen for a few minutes only.

Basically a total waste of money - i wouldn't recomend anyone to buy this movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I WANT A REFUND!
Review: i give this movie 2 stars because it would be downright cruel to give it anything less... i think that it was hyped up way too much for what it really turned out to be. they used big stars like jenifer and matthew on their poster when the probably had a combined total of 15 minutes screen time.. it really was just a huge dissapointment to me finding out i wasted 13 bucks buying 15 minutes of my fave. stars.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Telling you... to give it a chance.
Review: I really enjoyed this movie for a few reasons. I thought they did a great job with the cast..even though I am not a JLH fan. I enjoyed the other characters and even the story line. It's not a classic, but the story has a moral to it. It's slow at times, but the good parts (like the discussion about the panda and the ostrich) are funny. It's a basic high-school-mentality movie that doesn't rank with others like it, but my husband and I love this cute movie. I would recommend it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: inside scoop
Review: I was one of the writers on the original screenplay. I think the movie turned out pretty well for a couple of first time writers. Those of you who find so much fault with it should try writing your own screenplay-- very difficult. The script could definitely have used some work-- the director made very few changes to the original script. BUt for a first time adventure for all, not bad. If i had known then what I know now, the script would have been alot tighter. But it was a a thrill to have such wonderful cast, I think they saw the simplicity in the plot and thought it would be fun; no one was expecting an Oscar nomination for the film. So if you're looking for memorable plots and performances this movie is not for you. It is not the worst movie ever made (How about Tom Hanks in That Thing You Do?) It happens to the best of 'em.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Telling you... to give it a chance.
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.
