Entertainment WeeklyLeah Greenblatt

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

Hollywood ReporterMarilyn Moss

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

SlateTroy Patterson

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 WeeklyRobert 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.

D D gave it a2:
It looked like a teen Afterschool Special that they used to have. This wasn't the role I was expecting to see Val in, it didn't show her true talent. It was a boring movie to me. Clean cut, yes, but boring.
