Fading Gigolo (2013) Plot: In a scheme to make a quick couple of bucks, a New York bookstore owner (Woody Allen) convinces his flower-arranger friend (John Turturro) that a fortune could be made by becoming a professional gigolo, showing a good time to a number of beautiful and wealthy yet lonely local middle-aged women. Featuring an all-star cast, including Sharon Stone, Sofia Vergara (Modern Family), Vanessa Paradis and Liev Schreiber. Review: I really enjoyed this movie! The storyline is great and I liked the whole, Woody Allen as a pimp, concept. Its very well written by John Turturro, who also directed the movie, and the cast was a great choice. I couldnt help laughing all the way through the film and its hard not to admire Sofia Vergaras assets. Anyway, with that aside, the performances by the cast was believable and great to watch. When Vanessa Paradis gets emotional, you cant help but feel for her character who eventually comes out of her shell with the help of the gigolos services. Sharon Stone and Sofia Vergara also benefit from the gigolos expertise, but he eventually loses a taste for his profession after falling for Paradiss character. Its the type of movie that I would recommend to people who like light entertainment and who have a warped sense of humour. Enjoyable! Round-Up: I liked Woody Allen in this movie. His style of acting really worked with Turturros script, although he does babble in a couple of scenes. The black family that Allen lives with, was a great touch to the movie and the ending cracked me up. I think that you can tell that I enjoyed this movie but like most independent that dont get a big distribution, I doubt that it will get a massive audience. I always rate actors who can write and direct themselves so my respect goes to John Turturro who should be happy with the outcome. Budget: $30million Worldwide Gross: $13.3million (Terrible!) I recommend this movie to people who are into there romantic comedies about a gigolo whose pimped out by Woody Allen. 7/10
