REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 2-Aug-2005)

I might just be too picky... but it's not even as if the movie was well acted. It was at best average. It had nothing to make it special. I finished the movie no better off nor any worse off than when it began. What a waste of 2 hours. If anyone would like it on VHS send me money for s/h and I'll give it to you. At least Charlize made some cash off of it for gettin chubby. You know, there are chubby actors out there. I could see risking your health for a role of a lifetime or something... but seriously... another movie about a prostitute that just wanted a good life? Not a career defining role if you ask me...
