In Brooklyn, the bankrupted owner of a book store Fioravante (John Turturro) is forced to close his family business. His best friend Murray (Woody Allen) tells that his dermatologist Dr. Parker (Sharon Stone) dreams on having a threesome and would pay a thousand-dollar to have with her friend Selima (Sofía Vergara). Murray proposes to be Fioravante's gigolo and they start a male prostitution business.
When Fioravante meets the Jewish Avigal (Vanessa Paradis), who is the widow of a rabbi, they fall in love with each other. But the Jewish Dovi (Liev Schreiber) loves Avigal and will make life difficult for Murray.
"Fading Gigolo" is a deceptive and pointless movie that is neither a comedy nor a drama. Indeed the story is not funny or dramatic and does not have any message in the end. Further, John Turturro as a sex symbol for lonely women seems to be a problem of middle-age crisis of John Turturro that uses the movie to satisfy his ego. What make this movie worth are the beautiful Vanessa Paradis and Woody Allen. My vote is four.
Title (Brazil): "Amante a Domicílio" ("Lover at Home")
