True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet starring singer Jojo Levesque, is a movie about the typical life of a Hollywood celebrity.
Its the usual naddy-nada, about a young, wasted Hollywood celebrity that because of being in too many rehabs, now has to change her lifestyle.
She goes under a makeover that’s unrealistic (changing her hair – sheez, if Demi Lovato changed her hair, everyone would still recognize her), travels to Aunt Trudy and has to live a life as nobody.
I’m quite impressed with the movie plot, especially the first part where they actually showed true celebrity life, where their fame had drowned them into parties and drinking. I wasn’t very impressed by the acting of any of the actors and actresses in the movie.
Either they looked stiff or unmoving; it seemed more like the plot was the only thing that kept me watching. It was also unimpressive how the movie had tried to push a romance between two people, Jojo and her main man, whom she had no chemistry with.
In the end though, the plot seemed to drown in their acting and the movie became painful to watch. It’s not an appropriate movie for kids, nor would it be interesting enough for teenagers or adults either.
5 Reasons why YOU shouldn’t watch this movie
5. Cliche
While some cliched movies are watchable, funny and even great to watch, this movie isn’t. It’s so cliche, you would know what’s going to happen next. Now, I know some movies are even worse in being cliche than this, but let’s just say, it’s one reason not to watch.
4. Cast
Can you say terrible? I kind of like Shenae, but she’s not cut out for a lame movie. And they only show her in like, oh I don’t know 15 minutes of the movie? Plus the leading man! OMG. Please, did anybody even audition for this?
3. The “Makeover”
Her makeover was totally unrealistic. It’s a good thing the movie is not based on a real thing because if it was, the people in the movie must either be blind or stupid. Or living under a rock. On the other hand, maybe the celebrity wasn’t such a celebrity after all. I go for the second.
2. Love Story
Very, very painful love story. Totally readable, no chemistry and really, really painful in the quality way.
1. Jojo Levesque
Okay, I love her as a singer, but as an actress not so much. Please, if she was really good, then she’d probably have more movies. If she wants to be an actress, a little acting workshops couldn’t hurt. Jojo should focus on her singing or maybe toning down her voice for movies. It’s why I didn’t like Aquamarine. She sounded like a man! Or so much older than her best friend then anyway. And there’s just something wrong with that jaw! Or cheeks. Or whatever. Maybe it’s her hair or the make up or the directing. But it’s really distracting and whenever she’s on scene, it looks like her head’s too big for her body.
Anyway. This is my opinion. If you don’t like it, then beat it.
Go suffer one and a half hour of painful acting.
