This may count as a spoiler, as some people may wish to watch a film before taking any opinion on it, but i feel i have to announce to the world that this is the worst film i have ever watched. The beginning is odd, to say the least, it's stretched, unfunny, copied and poorly written. The middle, if there is one, is of the story of a social climber, however, the lady in question, is already at the top of her social ladder- so why sis this film so called?. the ending, well the ending is pure drivel.The acting throughout is nothing better than one would expect from a school production.Continuously and unbelievably contrived.Its predictable, and was so badly produced i think it gave me ulcers. Does anyone agree? I don't see how anyone cannot.

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.

JLH sheds her goody-two-shoes persona for a hard-driving character that makes this movie WORK! Katya is a non-naive ingénue to the workplace; she's a predator who understands what needs to be done in corporate America. She'll do what it takes to be successful in the world of fashion journalism. Especially delicious are the scenes wherein the in vogue bars change constantly...anyone who has lived in the city has gone through that. In this movie, we see Katya's great heart that is only covered up her desire to climb the corporate ladder. We see Katya's desire for the "perfect" man interfere with her career goals. Watch the movie to find out how she resolves the conflict. I hope JLH explores her full range of acting ability and singing ability both of which are proved in this film.I have great hopes for the Ghost Whisperer on CBS this fall.

This was a somewhat entertaining and silly piece of fluff that will keep you from being not too bored. JLH is again playing the perky and cute and always showcasing her assets in another forgettable flick. Here she plays a Paris Hilton type who does what it takes to be seen and her mission is to go to this Royal Ball that is the biggest event of the year. She hits a snag when she meets the man of her dreams and of course dramatic miscommunication ensues. The only comedic highlight is Joey Lawrence playing JLH's gay pal. Again, if you're bored or are a huge JLH fan then knock yourself out, but if not, you're not missing much.
