Pretty Good
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Since the first 20 - 30 minutes you're gonna start guessing what's gonna happen, anyway, it's not that long so you can handle all the predicted story.
I cannot call this a heavy drama, nor an x-rated adult film, nor a comedic/camp picture. What this film is in my view is light fare for a boring evening when there is nothing else to watch. A young man who works as a magazine writer named Mitch (Michael Doneger) spends most of his free time (and sometimes while still on company time) using an app on his phone to hook up with horny chicks for a free and quicky lay with like minded woman.One night, while sitting on a bar stool Mitch accidentally strikes up a conversation with an attractive young lady named Natalie (Lyndsy Fonseca) who turns out that she is only looking to hook up with men who can afford her hourly/nightly rate and Natalie does not work cheap.It doesn't take Mitch and Natalie long to determine they need each other strictly for working purposes so Mitch agrees to be Natalie's unsolicited pimp to fend off any aggressive clients, and for Mitch's pro bono physical presence Natalie agrees to allow Mitch to take notes for a bold article he is preparing for a magazine that he wants to work at.Mitch and Natalie's relationship becomes complicated when they start to have true feelings for each other and now you have a story that has a typical end. No spoiler here. It is worth a watch but this is nothing special, just light fare. I give the film a 5 out of 10 rating.
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.
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!
