First off, I like Ashton Kutcher's acting abilities. I liked him in
'That 70's Show', 'Butterfly Effect' and especially 'Dude, Wheres my
Car'. So now here the problem. The acting in this film was terrible,
led by Kutcher. I found it hard to believe he was a gigolo. His
narration was monotone, his wardrobe, though not his fault was
laughable and quite unrealistic if not downright leftover clothes from
his sitcom. We are led to believe that Anne Heche aka Samantha , who is
a successful businesswoman, would just be instantly duped by Kutcher
and just be reduced to a nymphomaniac with a lower back tattoo,
laughable in its own right. This story is just fantasy. In all
fairness, it did not pretend to be true. That is fair enough. What is
not fair, is that women in this film, are treated like just sexual
objects that are mindless, stupid and quite frankly not likable at all.
Then again, Most of the characters in this film were about as unlikable
as gets. This film was just a mish-mash of negative female stereotypes
and would make one believe that the women in this film are the rule not
the exception. Though the exception , would be far fetched as well.
There was no originality in this film and yes though it had the
come-uppance element, it still did not do enough to make me actually
enjoy this overly sexed and overly clichéd film. It was
non-interesting,non-fun and just an effort that should be forgotten
ASAP.
