Reviews

Leave the music to the real musicians like Kelly Clarkson, Iron Maiden and Ice Cube. Music is absolutely not your thing.

Don't worry Scarlett, your not alone. Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher have no business in the music industry, neither. Ditto Carly Rae Jepsen and Reese Witherspoon.

Sure, Katherine and Reese can act like you can, Scarlett. And Reese can do other things like you can, Scarlett.

Ashton should just contribute to putting criminals away and/or being a technology specialist. Carly Rae is completely and utterly useless, as are Paris Hilton and all other reality stars. Ditto soap stars.

Admittedly, Jennifer Love Hewitt had a big lull in her career from early 2003 to early 2006 before it was revived in early 2006 with the super popular TV show Ghost Whisperer (which aired in late 2005). Like the first two Last Summer movies, this movie has inconsistent acting, one third above par, one third par and once third subpar.

In this movie, Jennifer Love Hewitt plays a music teacher named Samantha Andrews. She's having relationship troubles with her boyfriend, an executive named Ian Wyndham, played by a relative unknown English actor named Paul Nicholls.

There's a traffic accident near the beginning of the movie that claims one of their lives. A Mr. Destiny type character (played by Tom Wilkinson) allows the survivor of the accident to relive the day again and make things right. Unfortunately, the accident still happens and one of them gets killed.

The best things about this movie are the songs that Jennifer Love Hewitt performs in the movie. She's the original performer and the writer of the lyrics with each song. Jennifer's also the original performer and the writer of the notes for the acoustic violin she plays in an orchestra.

If Only is not close to a masterpiece by any means. But nevertheless, it's a cute romantic comedy drama fantasy that I recommend to fans of the cast, especially to fans of Jennifer Love Hewitt.

She is credited as one of the producers. However, she's actually the main executive producer under Lovespell Entertainment, later renamed Fedora Films and now named Just Believe Productions.

In this sequel, Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt) has a new best friend, Karla Wilson (Brandy Norwood). They're in college together and they're roommates.

They wrongfully win a trip to The Bahamas and all hell breaks loose. Julie's relationship with Ray Bronson (Freddie Prinze, Junior) is seemingly on the rocks but ends up being the opposite.

It's not a great movie by any means. But it's nowhere near the disaster that many people unfairly make it out to be, either.

I can think of many horror movies (slasher and otherwise) that are way worse than this. Examples are My Bloody Valentine 2009 and Valentine, both of which have consistently abysmal acting.

If you're a fan of all of the cast members (which I am), check this out. Oh, the acting has the same inconsistency that I described in my review for the I Know What You Did Last Summer movie. Again, that movie and all slashers, other than My Bloody Valentine 2009, Psycho 1960 and Valentine, have that inconsistency with acting.

I find this movie to be very underrated. I would put it ahead of Scream and Scream 2.

I would also put this movie ahead of the other sequels to Scream. And it's better than a vast majority of slasher sequels.

Four friends, Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt), Ray Bronson (Freddie Prinze, Junior), Helen Shivers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Barry Cox (Ryan Phillipe) run over a guy on the road and dump his body in the ocean hoping something will happen to it in there. A year later, one of them receives a threatening letter in the mail with the movie's title.

They don't know who sent the letter but have a few suspects in mind. The person stalking them is not who would you expect it to be, but who you would want it to be.

The acting by every cast member is inconsistent, one third above par, one third par and one third subpar. But every cast member of the Scream series and almost all slashers have identical inconsistency with acting. My Bloody Valentine 2009, Psycho 1960 and Valentine are the only exceptions in the slasher sub genre of horror.

Psycho 1960 is the only thing in this sub genre of horror that has consistently good acting. My Bloody Valentine 2009 and Valentine, however, are the only slashers that have consistently abysmal acting.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is the ultimate scream queen. But, she wouldn't have fame for that if it weren't for her friend and House Arrest 1996 co star Jamie Lee Curtis (of Halloween fame) and Jamie Lee Curtis's mother, Janet Leigh (of Psycho fame). If Psycho 1960 is the Jaws of slashers, then I Know What You Did Last Summer is the Piranha 1978 of slashers.

Fun facts: Jennifer Love Hewitt has been doing most or all of her own stunts since this movie. But she's never been credited for it, sadly.

Apparently, she had a pimple on her forehead when she had a minor accident doing one of her own stunts. That's why she has a crater in her forehead.

Highly recommended to fans of the cast.

Everybody actor and actress involved does a fantastic job here. Of course, Betty White was the best one here, followed by Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Caroline Thomas (Betty White) is an elderly woman whose husband went missing in World War II in 1945. She visits the train station that her husband (a Navy soldier) left from to fight in the war in 1944 (nearly 70 years running).

A reporter named Susan Allison (Jennifer Love Hewitt) hears about Caroline Thomas's story that she decides she wants to do a public interview with her. She starts to fall for Caroline's grandson Lucas Thomas (Sean Faris).

The only problem is she gets engaged to her longtime boyfriend Andrew Hawthorne (Will Chase), who's often not around for her as he's a globetrotting photographer and reporter. If a potential viewer wants to know whether or not Susan's engagement to Andrew lasts, then watch the movie. I don't want to spoil it.

A must watch flick for fans of everybody in the cast, especially Jennifer Love Hewitt and Betty White. Don't miss it! It's Jennifer Love Hewitt and Betty White's best work ever, even over The Client List movie, The Golden Girls, Party Of Five and The Proposal.

I actually prefer this to 10 Things I Hate About You, American Pie, Never Been Kissed and She's All That. American Pie is good, if a bit overrated and 10 Things I Hate About You aged poorly. She's All That has always been highly overrated and Never Been Kissed was always bad (and I really like Drew Barrymore).

On the night of the high school graduation for the class of 1998, Preston Meyers (Ethan Embry) hopes to hook up with the the girl he's had a crush on for the last four years, Amanda Beckett, played by American sweetheart Jennifer Love Hewitt, after the class jock (Michael Dexter, played by Peter Facinelli) foolishly breaks up with her. The honors students, lead by William Lichter, played by Charlie Korsmo, plan revenge against the class jock for humiliating them so many times.

I would put Drew Barrymore (from Never Been Kissed), Rachael Leigh Cook (from She's All That) and Eugene Levy (from American Pie) on par with the cast of this movie. Otherwise, Can't Hardly Wait has a better cast than those three movies. And, better than the whole cast of 10 Things I Hate About You.

Chris Owen was much better as The Kleptomaniac Kid in this movie than he was a Chuck "The Sherminator" Sherman in American Pie and as one of the bullies in She's All That. Plus, Can't Hardly Wait relies much less on sex and vulgarity and much more on decent acting and wit than American Pie.

Can't Hardly Wait is also much more easy going and higher quality than the other four 1990s teen comedies mentioned in this review. As much as I like Jennifer Love Hewitt, her character was very serious and dark mooded.

She was a bit out of place with the light mooded, goofy characters that make up the rest of the characters. However, she was funny in a couple of parts and decently performed.

Nevertheless, I highly recommend this movie to fans of the whole entire cast. This flick is a highly underrated gem.

Heartbreakers is right up there with Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Animal House, The Austin Powers series, Caddyshack, Cheech & Chong's Up In Smoke, Friday, National Lampoon's Vacation 1983, Porky's and Revenge Of The Nerds and in being high quality and hilarious. I actually find this movie funnier and higher quality than American Pie and Road Trip due to relying less on sex and vulgarity.

And with more reliance on good acting and wit than those two movies. And no reliance on nudity at all like American Pie and Road Trip.

Plus, other than Eugene Levy, who is on par with anybody in Heartbreakers, the casts of American Pie and Road Trip are inferior to the cast of Heartbreakers. Yes, that includes the lovely Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Sigourney Weaver plays Max Conners and Jennifer Love Hewitt plays her daughter Paige Conners. They are a mother/daughter con artist team and go by aliases other than their real names.

Max weds shady and wealthy men after a few months and divorces them by having her daughter seduce them into cheating on her. In these situations, the men don't know Paige (using one of her aliases) is her daughter.

They end up using the dirt they have on those men to get massive amounts of money out of them. The first target in the movie is a car thief played by Ray Liotta.

Their next targets are a tobacco tycoon (played by Gene Hackman), who smokes up his own product heavily and a bar owner/bartender (played by Jason Lee). One of the con artists falls in love with their target for real and jeopardizes the whole operation.

A wonderful and truly and extremely underrated gem of a flick (and super funny) that I highly recommend to fans of the whole entire cast. I can't believe Heartbreakers is now more than 20 years old.

Fun facts: Jennifer Love Hewitt only needed a stunt double for when her character drove the Honda S2000. That car only came with a six speed manual transmission worldwide. She can't drive a vehicle with a manual transmission to save her live.

Jennifer Love Hewitt tried to learn how to drive a stick in a 1995 Honda Civic on a race track that the producers and studio executives rented. She came close to crashing the car several times before crashing and totaling the car.

Luckily, she was just shook up. Otherwise, she did all of her own stunts. But sadly, was uncredited for it.

I highly recommend this movie to fans of the whole entire cast.

Yes, the acting is bad by everybody involved, but not bad enough for Razzie Award considerations. But everybody in this movie proves to be capable action stars. Yes, even the cute, lovely, petite and sweet Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Jennifer Love Hewitt plays an inexperienced rookie secret agent named Del Blaine, real name Delilah Blaine. Agent Blaine mostly does forensic work but wants to work on the street fighting crime. Jackie Chan plays Jimmy Tong, a secret agent that does a lot of undercover work as professional drivers, such as cab driver and chauffeur.

When Agent Tong assigned to protect a man named Clark Devlin, he is injured and nearly killed in assassination attempt. After that, Agent Tong goes on assignment with Agent Blaine to find the assailants responsible for the assassination attempt. Those assailants may or may not be responsible for the death of a fellow secret agent.

Del Blaine is basically a female Martin Riggs, the character Clayne Crawford and Mel Gibson played in the Lethal Weapon franchise. But minus Clayne Crawford and Mel Gibson's good acting.

Del Blaine's also a white female version of James Carter, the character Justin Hires and Chris Tucker played in the Rush Hour franchise. But minus Chris Tucker's good acting. Justin Hires poorly portrayed James Carter.

Jimmy Tong, like Jonathan Lee, the character Jackie Chan and John Foo play in the Rush Hour franchise, is basically a Chinese Roger Murtaugh. That's the character Danny Glover and Damon Wayans, Senior play in the Lethal Weapon franchise. But minus Jackie Chan's good acting in the Rush Hour franchise.

John Foo poorly portrayed Jonathan Lee. And, in The Tuxedo, Jackie Chan lacks Danny Glover and Damon Wayans, Senior's good acting in the Lethal Weapon franchise.

Fun facts: Jennifer Love Hewitt only needed a stunt double for when the character she played drove the BMW Z8. She can't drive a manual transmission to save her life and that car only came with a six speed manual transmission worldwide.

Otherwise, Jennifer Love Hewitt did all of her own stunts. Sadly, she wasn't credited for it.

In agility, the tuxedo in The Tuxedo makes for a far better Robocop suit than the actual Robocop suit. Just don't expect Robocop 1987 standards of quality. But The Tuxedo is nowhere near the disaster it's unfairly made out to be, either.

Nevertheless, this movie is highly recommended to fans of Jackie Chan, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Debi Mazar. I'm a huge fan of all three of these actors, so that hugely helps for me. Oh, this movie is better than the Robocop remake.

And it's way closer to the Lethal Weapon Franchise, Robocop 1987 and the first two Rush Hours in quality than the inferior Rush Hour 3. The gaps between The Tuxedo and the disastrous Robocop sequels are even bigger than the gap between The Tuxedo and Rush Hour 3.

This show takes place in Austin, Texas rather than Los Angeles, California.

Rob Lowe plays Owen Strand, a divorced Fire Captain from New York City, New York, formerly in the FDNY who moves to Austin with his gay son T. K. Strand. He's also a firefighter formerly in the FDNY, played by an actor named Ronen Rubinstein.

Gina Torres (Tommy Vega) replaced Liv Tyler (Michelle Blake) in season 2. Liv Tyler quit out of fear of getting coronavirus.

The winter storm episodes in season three were personally painful for me to watch. That's because I live in the dreaded northeastern United States of America. Here, we're all too familiar with cold waves and winter storms.

Cold waves and winter storms are actually each twice as costly, deadly and destructive as heat waves. And, almost 20 times as costly, deadly and destructive as hurricanes, tornadoes and tropical storms combined.

The other episodes were good, especially the 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star crossover episode. I hope there's more of those. Hopefully, Kenneth Choi (Howie "Chimney" Han) and Jennifer Love Hewitt (Maddie Kendall) from the original 9-1-1 will be on some of those crossover episodes.

I recommend this show, too, especially to fans of the Criminal Minds, CSI, Law & Order and NCIS franchises.

Too bad it only lasted two seasons. Unlike the movie, the TV series is fictional but has a story line similar to the movie.

On this, Jennifer Love Hewitt's character's name is Riley Parks. Her character's husband's name is Kyle Parks, played by her now real life husband, Brian Hallisay.

On the TV series, the husband steps out before Riley get the very high paying job as a masseuse that, unfortunately, does double duty as an illegal sex worker. The show wasn't on long enough for her and her colleagues to get caught like in the movie.

Hopefully, this will get a revival to wrap up the major loose ends the show ended without wrapping up. Cybill Shepherd is once again the enabling mother, but with the name Lynette Montgomery.

I highly recommend this show to those who are fans of Brian Hallisay, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Cybill Shepherd. However, the movie was a bit better, in acting and in overall execution (directing, producing, writing, etcetera).

Jennifer Love Hewitt was the main executive producer of this TV show under her production company called Fedora Films, now called Just Believe Productions. She also directed three episodes, the first one of which she was one of the writers.

I've been a huge and loyal fan of Jennifer Love Hewitt for a quarter of a century now. Most of her work I like, many of it I don't.

The movie version of The Client List is one of Jennifer Love Hewitt's best movies, second only to The Lost Valentine, which came out six months later. Oddly enough, I like this Lifetime movie better than all of her theatrical movies.

That includes her theatrical movies that are very popular with the audience. Among them are Can't Hardly Wait, Heartbreakers and I Know What You Did Last Summer, all of which I'm also a huge fan of.

In this, Jennifer plays a mother and wife named Samantha Horton where her and her husband Rex Horton lose their jobs because of a bad economy (in Samantha's case) and injuries on the job (in Rex's case). They're at risk for their house being foreclosed.

While her husband takes a lower paying job as an exterminator, Samantha takes a very high paying job as a masseuse, that, unfortunately, does double duty as an illegal sex worker. Cybill Shepherd plays Samantha Horton's enabling widowed mother Cassie Gellar.

This movie was very well acted (especially Jennifer and Cybill), very well made overall (especially for a TV movie) and it's based on a true story. I highly recommend this movie to anybody who's a fan of both Jennifer Love Hewitt and Cybill Shepherd.

Jennifer Love Hewitt was the main executive producer of this movie under her production company called Fedora Films, now called Just Believe Productions.

The whole cast does a great job of acting. The direction, production, writing and overall execution are also top notch.

I particularly like the story lines of Maddie Kendall, wonderfully played by the lovely Jennifer Love Hewitt and her abusive ex husband Doug Kendall, wonderfully played by Jennifer Love Hewitt's awesome real life husband Brian Hallisay.

There's the post traumatic stress disorder she experiences from being forced to act in self defense against her ex husband and the postpartum depression she experiences after giving birth. All good stuff.

The other story lines are also well played. I hope the 9-1-1 franchise continues to be high quality so it lasts a long time like the Law & Order franchise.

I would put the very underrated 9-1-1 franchise on par with the Law & Order franchise and ahead of the overrated Criminal Minds Franchise. I very strongly recommend this show to fans of the Criminal Minds, CSI, Law & Order and NCIS franchises.

Quentin Tarantino is the only film maker that makes death so comical. Marvin accidentally getting shot dead in the backseat of Jules Winfield's car by Vincent Vega is one of the funniest, most classic scenes ever in a movie.

Another one of the funniest, most classic scenes in a movie ever is Marseillus Wallace shooting his rapist in the groin and stomach. This movie will never get boring, no matter how many times I watch it.

It's hard to believe Pulp Fiction is now 25 years old. The dialogue is still relevant today.
