Cast

Style

The Daily Newss Michael Korb wrote, "Confessions is a little more risque than traditional Lifetime fare -- considering that Hobbs and friends are dancing around in their underwear for a significant portion of the film".[2] Brad Newsome agreed, stating in The Sydney Morning Herald, "This is a little racier than the usual Hallmark fare."[3] Robert Philpot said the film "continues [Lifetime's] August series of lurid-topic movies".[4]

Reception
