Che fatica fare la star!

i was wondering if this was based on the life of Linday Lohan,, it was good to see Valerie Bertinelli in a movie again,, i remember watching her on the old TV show One Day At A Time.. a Hollywood starlet teen queen parties up the life of being a star,, she hits the red carpet and falls flat on her face,, and into re hab she goes,, she gets whisked away to some small town around Fort Wayne , Indiana by her mother and her manager,, where she stays with her Aunt Trudy.. she has to go to high school, wear cheesy teen girl clothes,, can't drink alcohol, and is basically shut off from her starlet Hollywood lifestyle,, sorta like a fish out of water,, i really liked Valerie Bertinelli's performance in this ,movie,, it was good to see that she still can act after all of these years,, this is a pretty decent movie.

This film is about a young Hollywood star going to a small town to live, in order to fight her alcohol addiction.

The title "True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet" sounds already cheesy, and it is just that. Morgan Carter is cynical about everything in the small town, looking down on everything and everyone. She makes unreasonable demands, is spoiled and takes everything for granted. Yet, she is strangely adorable, keeping me interested throughout the movie. Her narrated thoughts inside her head are so funny! And - what a coincidence - she does look like Lindsay Lohan! "True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet" has all the elements of a fun popcorn movie. It is fun to watch, and is a cut above many other straight to TV movies.

10/10 movie can't fault. Great movie to watch with a bottle of wine and popcorn. Jojo is a great actress too! Not as predictable as you would think either.

This is a really good made for TV movie which has recently made its debut on Lifetime. A drunk and out of control, young Hollywood actress is sent by her family and agent to Ft. Wayne, Indiana, to go to high school, dry out, and learn some values. This movie really picks up as she integrates into her new school environment. This is the first lead role for Joanne "JoJo" Levesque and I would respectfully suggest that she serves notice here that she will be a major force as an actress in the very near future. In this film, and Aquamarine, she has a very watchable and likable presence. Being only 17, a bright future is in front of her as an actress if she wants it. As most are aware, she is already a star in the recording industry and she has stated that is her primary focus. I would hope to see more of her in film in the very near future. Valerie Bertinelli is also very good here as a wizened aunt who helps to straighten the misfit starlet out. Fellow student Eli is also very well portrayed in this film. All and all, this film is topical, timely and well worth the effort of all involved including the viewer.
