The Client List (2010)
For the ultimate girls’ night, rent the Lifetime movie The Client List starring one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, Jennifer Love Hewitt. It was extremely successful during its initial airing and spawned a television spinoff (but with new characters and supporting cast members), and Jennifer was even nominated for a Golden Globe. It was very well-deserved – she did a lot more than just prance around in lingerie. Complete with a fantastic Texas accent, she shows frustration, desperation, disgust, self-loathing, fear, and sorrow. She doesn’t usually take on roles like this, so it’s really great to see her show her acting chops. Finally, she’s more than just a pretty face.
But what a face! One wonderful thing about Jennifer Love Hewitt movies is you know she’s always going to look beautiful. She’ll be all dolled up in makeup and false eyelashes, show off her gorgeous, thick, wavy hair, and wear beautiful, figure-hugging clothes – unlike some beautiful women who continually grunge themselves up in their movies (Keira Knightley, I’m looking at you). So in The Client List, you’ll see her parade in a series of low-cut summer dresses, and yes, also cute lingerie sets while she works at her “massage parlor”.
Another refreshing aspect of this movie is the way it doesn’t glamorize prostitution. Richard Gere is not one of Jennifer’s clients. She services middle-aged, unattractive married men, and she hates every aspect of her job except the cash salary. There’s nothing worse than Hollywood encouraging impressionable young girls to make the wrong choices, and this movie shows that Jennifer’s last resort is a bad one. This is a cautionary tale, not a charming how-to guide of how to become Mrs. Wall Street. I would definitely recommend this movie to watch with a bunch of your girlfriends or sisters. It’s fun, smart, and girly without being unrealistic.
