Reviews

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
langley-80203 Enjoyable, Good movie for a rainy afternoon!Grab beverage, get your favorite Blanket, and give the dog a treat! I recommend it.
Ian So, did the main actor write a script for himself to act in or just so he could make out with some beautiful women, particularly Lyndsy Fonseca who is excellent in this?If it was a vehicle for his acting, Michael Doneger runs the gamut of emotions from A to B. Hardly a demanding part but thank god they didn't let him direct!Yeah, ok, it's not a bad movie. His talent might lie more with writing than acting, although I haven't seen him in a demanding part. It's billed as a comedy/drama/romance or a rom-com in most people's book. It's not exactly funny. It is 'light' and there are a couple of good lines. The subject is supposed to be 'edgy' but , heck, it's not really. It has Pretty Woman written all over it and even references it in the movie (almost the funniest part) so it's far from original. Hey ho...It's nowhere near a top ten of rom-coms, either in the rom or the com category, but it has a fair stab at the genre. Rom-com aficionados look elsewhere. If you're not too fussy, give it a look.
ElliesWonder There were rave reviews attracted me to watch, however the outcome bum me out. The movie looks like a salute to Pretty Woman (1990) , but it is more quiet and less sexy, Escort more like a tacky cheesy romantic story, no fun no concepts. The plot is very slow, it barely kept my interest to finish.The biggest loophole of this movie is the name, the Stanford graduated escort said she couldn't find a job with her scandal name? Then why can't she change her name? Just fill out a petition, millions people changing their names for different reasons. Totally no senses plot writing, almost embarrassed my IQ, I doubted myself why would I watch such movie. Beside, many people share a same name. Can't find a job is more like a excuse because her tax free money is easier to make.Lastly, I don't like the shaking camera movement. I always want to jump into the screen, and settled the camera!
Julesecosse I thought that it was a brave role for the lead Lyndsy Fonseca, who from outward appearances at least, seems to have delicate sensibilities. In my opinion she doesn't really pull it off and doesn't convince me that she could be a prostitute, high class escort or not.I have seen her in the Kick Ass franchise and believe that she would be more suited to the rom-com genre.As to the rest of the cast, I liked the character of her father, who was a regular in Hercules the legendary Journeys and Xena. He is a versatile actor whose talents haven't been exploited to the full in my opinion.I also liked the rest of the characters but was not totally enamoured with the film as a whole. It seemed to tread a well worn path and didn't elicit any emotion from me, bar the final scene, which I had hoped would end differently.
