Plots(1)
An unlikely bond forms between two sexually consumed outcasts. Mitch, a sex obsessed journalist, convinces Natalie, a Stanford- educated prostitute, to allow him to follow her around for an exposé he's writing for a magazine. While initially hesitant to allow him into her life, Natalie eventually sees an upside for herself, as she (unbeknownst to Mitch) starts using him as a bodyguard to protect her from the assorted personalities she deals with on a nightly basis. What starts out as a business proposition, develops into something more. (Curious Films)

Pretty Woman for today’s generation, which did not become a blockbuster because there are no stars in its cast. However, I found the cast quite to my satisfaction. The pair of protagonists were likable (the girl was also insanely pretty), and Bruce Campbell’s bohemian dad was funny. Tastefully blending comedy, drama and subtle romance in the style of Judd Apatow, The Escort is a dialogue-heavy relationship flick with fresh and witty dialogue that doesn’t pull its punches, but manages to remain subtle. A pleasant surprise.

Romantic comedy, which is rather marketed as a comedy, but in the end, it is still more about romance, which has two advantages. It is about sex and addiction to it, and then there is Bruce Campbell, who entertained me again and who should have gotten a bit more space than he actually did. Lyndsy Fonseca is pretty, but that wasn't enough for me
