1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money!
This was such a disappointing movie. The previews made it seem like it would be great--starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, Peter Facinelli and Matthew Lillard. All three of them had been in movies I loved before like Can't Hardly Wait. But this was a very disappointing movie.

First the majority of the movie takes place in a pizza parlor where Dash and Facinelli work...

This was such a disappointing movie. The previews made it seem like it would be great--starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, Peter Facinelli and Matthew Lillard. All three of them had been in movies I loved before like Can't Hardly Wait. But this was a very disappointing movie.

First the majority of the movie takes place in a pizza parlor where Dash and Facinelli work. It is mostly about life after school where some people are going off to make the most of their lives and these guys are working in a slow pizza place. Hewitt is by no means the star or even a major role in this movie--she palys an obnoxious girl and is on screen for a total of less than 15 mintues. A total waste. And Lillard plays his usual role as a hotshot, but like Hewitt, has his talent completely wasted in this film.

I was so disapointed in this movie. I expected more from a cast that had produced other great movies in the past. I wouldn't waste my time or money on this movie.

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars telling you, February 27, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Telling You [VHS] (VHS Tape)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT GREAT STUFF-Belfast, Maine, December 18, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Telling You (DVD)
This small indie film from Miramax was very funny. I enjoyed every performance, mainly JLH. She is a great actress and her screen performance in this film is awesome. The rest of the actors were also amazing. Beth is so HOTT. I recommend this film highly. I advise any one who saw it and did not like it, to take a closer look.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great movie for young adults (not teens.), May 12, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Telling You [VHS] (VHS Tape)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a great "Seinfeld" like movie, May 28, 1999

This review is from: Telling You [VHS] (VHS Tape)
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

4.0 out of 5 stars Telling you... to give it a chance., August 25, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Telling You (DVD)
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars not that great, August 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Telling You [VHS] (VHS Tape)
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...
