Quotes
Filmmaker: So Zooey, what kind of person do you describe yourself as?
Zooey: I'm a survivor. They say only the strong survive. I'm not a bad person. I've never done anything bad to anyone. If I've ever done anything bad, it's to myself. That's my choice. I'm just a person. But I don't want to survive, I want to live.

Entertaining...if you have nothing else to do.

This movie is entertaining as long as you are wasting time.

The acting is mediocre at best. I hoped that the fact that neither of the lead actors had done any movie work before would mean they were raw and untapped talent. What it meant was that everyone else that passed on them was wise.

The story/writing is unoriginal. Hooker wants to quit her job. The man that loves her is conflicted between supporting her and pressuring her to stop being a whore.

The guy that plays the "pimp" is so bad that it's funny. I actually laughed out loud during the scene where he tries to get rough with one of his whores.

If you have nothing else to do, this isn't a bad movie.

The best part of the movie is the reference to John Kennedy Toole's only novel. Aside from that, it's all unimpressive. Well, I guess it is impressive that it got made at all. That part is rather remarkable.
