Sometimes the real value of a movie is in making fun of it The Fug Girls have written a recap of the Jennifer Love Hewitt vehicle The Client List, complete with illustrative screen captures. Not everyone's cup of tear of course, but it made me laugh so hard tears came to my eyes, so perhaps some of you will enjoy it also.

"cup of tea"

Though that typo may have been apt, as typos have a way of often being.

That made me laugh out loud. It didn't hurt that I actually watched this movie the other day (I love Lifetime movies).

They mention her boobs a lot but I'm really surprised they didn't mention her big spider eyelashes. She had (has? not sure if it's still on) them on The Ghost Whisperer, too. They are ridiculously long and chunky and she even has them at night when she's in bed and Jock Dullard is trying to get it on with her but she's too tired from all the whoring.

because, you know, sometimes when we Kind Touch, the honesty's too much

Right there is where I burst out laughing.

They mention the eyelashes in the very first sentence, besides pointing out that on The Ghost Whisperer JLH is *always* in strapless or skinny strap dresses even when everyone else is in sweaters and overcoats. I can't bear The Ghost Whisperer and have never watched more than a few minutes at a time so I was glad to be informed of such nuances.

Oh, you know what, the link you posted brings you partway into the article... I thought I was starting at the beginning but there were a few paragraphs I missed.

I love snarky reviews of terrible movies. This was great. Here is my favorite part:

But she keeps doing it. Sixth lesson of the movie: Kind Touching And Being Rich Is Totally Worth It.

I think the kindest touch would be to change the channel.

Mrs. Beese and I enjoyed Love Hewitt's short-lived Party of Five spin-off, Time of Your Life - which included a pre-Alias Jennifer Garner as The Best Friend.

Oh good grief.

"F*ckwittery: 10 out of 10"
"Massage therapists the world over are saying, "Thank you, Jennifer Love Hewitt, for helping fuel the stereotype that we are all secret prostitutes.""

Fuck you, JLH & everyone else involved in this drivel.
