User Review

Well, I liked it

Rating: 7/10


I decided to give this one a shot after seeing James Belushi and Denise
Richards on the credits. That, and the fact that there was no review
for this title on IMDb; it kinda felt like a "virgin" territory to
explore.

And I don't regret it, because I ended up liking it. The acting was
believable without any of the forced over-the-top or wooden
performances that you see in crappy movies where you are constantly
reminded that some people are trying to act and the results are painful
to watch.

The lead character which plays Sam was natural, the role fit him like a
glove and in the end it felt like he pulled it off with style; and the
other characters delivered good performances too.

I wouldn't know where to classify this but it certainly isn't a comedy.
The story is somewhat original (at least I haven't seen another movie
about high-school kids doing escort services for older women) but it
doesn't fall into cheap clichés, not a little bit and all the little
side stories are neatly weaved into the main one.

It has a sweet-sad tone all through, however, it also has a sort of
light feeling of hope to it and the music helps building and keeping
that up.

All in all, I didn't end up regretting the time I spent on it (as I do
with a lot of movies, lately) so what I can tell you is, give it a try
and make up your own mind about it. This isn't your garden-variety
blockbuster but I think you'll find it a quite good way to spend one
and half hours on a stormy afternoon.
