Entertainment Weekly Leah Greenblatt
Despite some yawning plot holes (superfamous blond actress + brunet dye job = total undercover stranger! who knew?), it's surprisingly self-aware fun. |

Confessions constantly walks the line between predictable (which eventually wins out) and original (stemming from some delectable repartee between Levesque and Bertinelli). |

Just below the surface of Hollywood Starlet, the only thing below the surface, is the idea that a glossy kind of victimology--one that tweens and twentysomethings might want a vicarious jolt of--is ascendant. |

LA Weekly Robert Abele
[Levesque’s] solid with the snappy comebacks, glides through the clichéd lines (you just knew she’d eventually say, “There’s a lot you don’t know about me”) and is genuine when she has to apologize for her ’tude. |

New York Post Kyle Smith
OK, the story is predictable and the drama is low-cal. But director Tim Matheson, who uses a snappy electronipop score, keeps things moving as we progress from inside jokes-LiLo herself gets a mention-to hugs. |

New York Daily News David Hinckley
Occasionally True Confessions, which is based on the Lola Douglas novel of the same name, takes things a little past the limit....But for a couple of hours of good, clean, wholesome and utter escapism with a certified upbeat Lifetime ending, True Confessions goes down easy on a summer night. |

Variety Brian Lowry
Elisa Bell's screenplay adaptation is full of all kinds of similar showbiz references in pursuit of street cred, but Tim Matheson's direction drunkenly careens all over. |
