Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Michael Ledo This is your odd "Pretty Woman" type of romantic comedy that is perhaps more drama than either genre. This is not your dumb sleazy "50 Shades of Shasha Gray" escort type film.The story centers on Mitch (Michael Doneger) who is a journalist and writes obituaries. However "Obituary Writer" is not a film title people will flock to. Mitch is also a sex addict who uses a sex app on his phone to hook up for fast nameless sex. His behavior gets him in trouble and he gets fired from his job. He applies for another job, but needs to present a printable article, i.e. not obits in order to get hired. He meets up with Natalie (Lyndsy Fonesca) an educated escort. She allows him to follow her around so he can write a story about her....just follow the formula.Bruce Campbell comes in at 48 minutes into the film as the rich father of Mitch. Rachel Resheff plays Mitch's potty mouth sister. The film has humor, but is not laugh out loud funny. It is a light drama that keeps you engaged even as you know how it ends.Guide: F-Bomb, sex, remarkably no nudity.

Ed-Shullivan 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.

lavatch The two performances of Michael Doneger and Lyndsy Fonseca were outstanding in this unusual romantic comedy.At the beginning of the film, it was unclear how the style would evolve. Was this to be a satirical film? a farce? an exposé on prostitution and sex addiction? As it turns out, it was an effective romantic comedy as the relationship of two characters of Mitch and Natalie evolved into a pair of soul mates. There was good chemistry between the actors, as well as some creative dialogue. The characters of Mitch's family, including a hip songwriter of a father and a precocious sister, added to to the comedy.While "The Escort" may not be a great film, it was nonetheless a well-paced rom com, due primarily to two excellent performances.

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.
