Crimes of Fashion (2004) ... as Candace Brooke, a plain but creative and hard-working student at the top fashion school in the nation, who has come a long way from her tough childhood spent going from one foster home to another as an orphan. She has always dreamed of becoming a fashion designer, and is thrilled to finally be on her way. But, when the grandfather she never knew about passes away, her life is suddenly turned upside down. Not only has he left her his estate, but he's left her in charge of the family business, as mob boss to one of the top crime syndicates that has been trying to go legit. If that isn't enough, the handsome new student she's falling for is actually an undercover FBI agent aiming to get dirt on her to bring down the family empire.

"When I watch a movie all I want is to enjoy myself. I did. This movie is not going to change your life, unless you were having a bad day. I do not worry about settings so much, if the idea is fun and the characters fit. I will not worry if maybe it is not so realistic. The three main characters (George, Brooke and Jack) were all cute. They were fun to watch and I did want them to "win". Yes, I think that Kaley Cuoco is very attractive and she made Brooke work for me. I have enjoyed Dominic Chianese in most everything that he has done. I liked this movie and will buy the DVD when it is released. Do not look for Gone with the Wind, just let the movie be fun and you will enjoy it."

"I thought this was a really cute ABC Family movie. Some of it was unrealistic or cheesy but I still loved it! I have to watch it every time it's on and I think the acting's great! It's a good story too, lets you escape from the realism of everyday life. Most everything in this doesn't happen in real life. But you could wish it did lol. All I have to say is just don't take the movie too seriously when watching it. Expecting an Oscar worthy movie will not make you like this. Just relax and take a break when you watch this. I'd totally recommend this to anyone!"

"Could you believe a mob boss under FBI surveillance would want his 20ish year old granddaughter to be the new head of the family? Not very believable, is it? Well, neither is Star Wars but that's a great movie. This cannot be compared to Star Wars, of course. Crimes of Fashion is just something that was made specially and specifically for television by the ABC Family network. What this should properly be compared to is other Made-for-TV movies. How does it fare? Absolutely miserably. For all TV movies (actually, for every movie) I sit down with my popcorn with a completely open mind, hoping maybe there'll be something worth the 90 minutes. Often it's a few laughs, some funny lines, sometimes a really happy ending. Usually there are no surprise twists or turns in Made-for-TV movies and usually not a lot of background to get you emotionally connected to characters. But sometimes (rarely) a TV movie is worth watching... this one, "Crimes of Fashion," was not worth watching. Well, maybe a little but on a grand scale your time would be better used scrubbing your toilet. This movie just didn't have anything to make it good... it was just... bland. Kaley Cuoco wasn't bad, she's cute and a pretty good actress and Dominic Chianese was charming but other than those two this movie failed with just average directing, lame writing, lame characters. There's no reason to comment much further. My grade for this movie: D-"
