Review of Fading Gigolo

Review: I really enjoyed this movie! The storyline is great and I liked the whole, Woody Allen as a pimp, concept. It's very well written by John Turturro, who also directed the movie, and the cast was a great choice. I couldn't help laughing all the way through the film and it's hard not to admire Sofia Vergara's assets. Anyway, with that aside, the performances by the cast was believable and great to watch. When Vanessa Paradis gets emotional, you can't help but feel for her character who eventually comes out of her shell with the help of the gigolo's services. Sharon Stone and Sofia Vergara also benefit from the gigolo's expertise, but he eventually loses a taste for his profession after falling for Paradis's character. It's the type of movie that I would recommend to people who like light entertainment and who have a warped sense of humour. Enjoyable! 

Round-Up: I liked Woody Allen in this movie. His style of acting really worked with Turturro's script, although he does babble in a couple of scenes. The black family that Allen lives with, was a great touch to the movie and the ending cracked me up. I think that you can tell that I enjoyed this movie but like most independent that don't get a big distribution, I doubt that it will get a massive audience. I always rate actors who can write and direct themselves so my respect goes to John Turturro who should be happy with the outcome.

Budget: $30million Worldwide Gross: $13.3million (Terrible!)

I recommend this movie to people who are into there romantic comedies about a gigolo whose pimped out by Woody Allen. 7/10
