Teen actress Morgan Carter is a Hollywood princess, until the day that her hard-partying ways get the best of her. After she collapses outside a Hollywood nightclub, Morgan’s mother sends her to live incognito in the wilds of Fort Wayne, Indiana, with her Aunt Trudy. With a new look and a seriously depleted budget, Morgan enters a suburban high school with a new identity and a bad attitude. But it’s not long before a cute boy next door turns her head. And suddenly Morgan finds herself caught between the bright lights of Hollywood and a simple life with the boy she loves. Based on the book by Lola Douglas.
I loved True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet that premieres on Lifetime tonight at 8p! I laughed, I cried and I really want more!!!
When I got the screener for this, I thought this movie was going to be stupid and a waste of time but I was shocked by how much I loved this movie. Jojo plays a mixture of Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears, but instead she crashes and burns at 17. Because of her young age her mom and manager send her to her aunt’s (Valerie Bertinelli) in Fort Wayne, Indiana to be a normal teen. Jojo actually played the role perfectly of Morgan Carter, she changes with her character and doesn’t overact anything and doesn’t forget how she should be acting at that time in the movie. She starts off spoiled starlet but you watch her change into a normal teen. Valerie Bertinelli plays her aunt perfectly, some of their scenes together just draw right into the movie. At one point in the movie I started to cry and I couldn’t believe that this movie touched me that much. In fact I cried a few times, but I laughed and smiled even more.
It is great to watch as Morgan Carter grows throughout the movie. In fact it takes a real look into what is going wrong with some of the biggest grown up child stars of today. In fact I think this is a must watch for parents of child stars to see how important it is to make sure they have normal lives too and not one that is just work, assistants and yes people.
Seriously, I love True Confessions of a Hollywood so much, I hope that Lifetime is considering turning this movie into a series.
So tune into True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet on Lifetime at 8p for a movie that will surprise you how good it is!
