In the interest of a reliable rating system , I feel compelled to call BS on *at least* most (almost all) of the stars on this this movie I found on Prime. My God: it would be a bad B movie, except those usually know what they are and have a sense of kitch. This would be a C- movie. Underneath the after school specials. The script. The two leads: sugar baby and sugar daddy...I kind of can't say more. See for yourself.
Annoyingly, the film gets a couple of things right: the girl is extremely boring, very young-looking, with naturally beautiful and healthy skin, a terrific bikini figure, with no extra fat anywhere and an especially beautiful mouth and teeth. It is believable that she knows she's tall, fit and lovely and came to "make it" with the support of upper middle class parents who "believe in her".
What's maddening are the glaring inconsistencies: she lives alone in a perfect apartment, has no side job...but she takes the bus. Girls that look like that don't take the bus. If they have to, they aren't in their underwear. With that apartment, no roommates and no job, those parents would be renting a car or she'd be taking taxis. She's clearly not a trained artist-one gets the idea that she may have been a student athlete and skipped college to model. Yet: she's extremely shy, stiff and hung up about modeling work. Which is weird.
She accepts the vague invitation to become a mistress wholeheartedly-going to a "date" in a bikini and giving him the full-on boyfriend experience without even discussing figures. Little miss prim. Then we learn it's $10,000 a month. "No way" to that. Then we learn she finds it sexually gratifying and she had feelings for him and wants to go bring her parents on vacation with them. And she stops auditioning and starts doing coke with her younger friends. So: yeah...this does speak to a certain youthful directionless. That part does seem legit.
So: we're halfway through the movie now, and there hasn't been a good scene yet. She comes home and finds the old guy in the hot tub with the most randomly downmarket hooker with whom he decides to spring a left field threesome. Our heroine is appalled. The hooker leaves. Then they squabble, and so the guy leaves the her alone in his mansion?
This is where I had to hit pause and rate. Really. I need to prevent others from wasting their time. I am going to finish it, just so I can be sure I didn't make some massive error and every bit of this thing turns around. I do not think it's possible, but I'll take on for the team, here.
I honestly wish the best for everyone involved...I am sorry that I criticized an indie, but the rating is so extremely misleading that I feel compelled to help bring a little integrity back to the forum.
