Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
ThiefHott Too much of everything
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
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.
doriiiii The Escort is a rare film in my recent viewing history because it left me with mixed impressions yet I still loved it, its flaws regardless. The main reason why I loved it is because it's a truly feel-good movie. Despite its controversial subjects of prostitution and sex addiction, it manages to stay lighthearted and entertaining, primarily thanks to its two eye candy leads, Lyndsy Fonseca and Michael Doneger. The main flaws for me were a misleading title and lack of depth in dealing with its titular subject. The title is misleading because the film's focus isn't solely the escort business and trials and tribulations of a call-girl. There are two main characters, a high-class escort girl with a heart of gold and her romantic interest, an underachieving journalist with sex addiction which keeps him stuck in his life. And more screen time is allocated to the male protagonist, his friends, family and even landlord, than to the escort girl herself. It wasn't a big problem for me, but viewers who will expect a closer look at the escort trade might be disappointed. What else there is to add? Secondary characters are well-developed and have interesting quirky personalities. One more thing that I really appreciated about this film is its effort to make a commentary on realities of current life, such as cyberbullying, intricacies of modern-day parenting, and heck, even obsession with the TV shows. To sum up, its a little film with charming characters; it doesn't offer much depth or edge, but on the upside, it's engaging, romantic and feel-good.
Reno Rangan Pretty intentional. It says it doesn't want to go that way, but in the end that's what it does. So the story was nothing new, but it was the cast, particularly Lyndsy Fonseca. She was too hot for the title role. A sex addict journalist tries to do a story on high-end escort for his new job. They agree on to be purely professional, but as they explore each day, a new friendship develops. After learning that she's well educated and the reason for taking this path, it all comes to when his story is ready to publish. Their both lives are about to turn around, but how is what told just before the end.The film was not bad, but not good enough to praise. Worth a watch if you are not anticipating and just want an entertainment. Obviously the film is for the adults, but you won't be happy if you are looking for according to the title. Because the title name is only where the film plot was initiated and the remaining story was all about the character surrounding it. So it is not an erotic drama or romance or a thriller. The film was short and well maintained pace, but not the film of the year.6/10
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.
