One Hour Fantasy Girl (2009)
Not what you would expect
I wasn't sure what to expect with One Hour Fantasy Girl, but this small independent film is worth checking out. It turned out to be a surprisingly non-sleazy, non exploitative drama that had me intrigued from its opening minutes. The real revelation here is Kelly Ann Tursi, a stunningly beautiful young actress who plays the aforementioned lead character. One look at her and it's easy to understand why men would pay $150 for an hour with her. She carries the film with an understated, subtle performance. Her character is clearly not comfortable with her line of work, but she's willing to go through with it to somehow achieve her dream. Expect big things from this actress in the future.
Bowling for Morgan (2004)
Mildly amusing, but an amateurish effort
There are many differences between the far superior "Super Size Me" and this amateurish knockoff. For one thing, Caswell was overweight and badly out of shape when the film begins, as opposed to the very healthy Morgan Spurlock. Who knows what kind of bad eating habits Caswell had beforehand? If anything, eating nothing but McDonalds for 30 days (including several salads and diet sodas) was probably an improvement over his normal eating style. Plus he is often seen running around and swimming (wearing a ridiculous burger suit), which certainly might have had an impact on his eventual weight loss.
Also, he spends too much of his time needlessly taking shots at Spurlock, which makes the film comes across less as an educational experience and more of an immature effort to discredit the filmmaker, rather than the film it's based on. It's at least watchable, though, mildly funny in spots and there are a couple of cute girls in it. Best of all, it's free online, so the only thing you'll waste are 34 minutes of your life watching it.
