Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008) by Chris M — 30 Dec 2009

See, when you cast a porn star in your movie about call girls, and have a tag line like that, you set up certain expectations. While I wasn't expecting bukkaki, I was thinking this might be one of those films that attempts to be sexy and brainy.

It's neither. Instead, it's about the financial situation that plagues the world these days. Harrumph. It's not a terrible film, but I'm not exactly going to want to see it again anytime soon.

Grey is pretty much completely out of her depth in this, unless she's supposed to play a kid who's mostly miffed by the world. Fortunately, she's back to porno where she clearly excels. You do have to hand it to her, no porn star has gotten a lead roll like this in a mainstream (thought independent) movie directed by an Oscar winner.
