Amazon.com Director David Mackenzie trades the Scottish Highlands for the Hollywood Hills in this darkly comic fable about a male hustler. While Julia Roberts famously portrayed a hooker with a heart of gold, Nikki (producer Ashton Kutcher) suffers from Tin Man Syndrome: he doesn't seem to have a heart at all. As he boasts in his opening narration, "I don't wanna be arrogant here, but I'm an incredibly attractive man." (He has a point, but those suspenders have gotta go.) With his finances in disarray, he sets his sights on Samantha (Anne Heche), a high-powered attorney with an amazing abode overlooking Los Angeles. For such a sophisticated woman, she's surprisingly quick to fall for his patter. Aside from attending to her physical needs, Nikki cooks, runs errands, and makes himself so indispensable he gains the use of her Amex and Mercedes. Then he meets the more age-appropriate Heather (Margarita Levieva), who doesn't find his talk quite so cute, but she gets him in a way Sam doesn't because she's a player, too. Through Heather, Nikki finds his heart, but a real relationship proves far more challenging than a fake one. If the characters in Mackenzie's first American feature, much like the gang on TV's Gossip Girl, are too vain to inspire much sympathy, they're still fun to watch. Kutcher's ladies' man may not be as iconic as the studs in Midnight Cowboy and American Gigolo, but then Mackenzie (Young Adam, Mister Foe) isn't going for tears or fears, but rather for escapism with a sexy, slightly cynical edge. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Anne Heche February 3, 2010 Tony L. Sledge (Fort Worth, Texas) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Anne just looks so damn good. Worth every penny just to see her. Not bad for an old woman.
Not good enough for 1 star February 2, 2010 Dennis Shumaker (Dallas, TX USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life.
I fast forwarded many of the parts, just to get to the end faster.
Pure buyer's regret on this one.
There should be a rating of ZERO stars, 1 star is too high for this one.
Absolute junk! Waste of money! January 22, 2010 Facalbi (Killingworth, CT) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Not much good to say about this movie. Waste of time and waste of money!
Inspired by Kutcher's early kept-days with Demi January 17, 2010 Aurum Rabosa (The Great Basin) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This movie is preposterous. Kutcher is too ugly to be taken seriously as a gigolo. His dress is ridiculous with the lowrider pants he always wears, when he has pants on, that will fall off without the skinny suspenders. The golddigger Heather would never fall for a clown like Nicki given her options. Heather's stoner roommate never comes out of her room and just coughs, presumably from smoking too much ganga, then suddenly appears and acts cogent, coherent, and much more maturely than Nicki. Wasn't she too stoned to think clearly? The love hate relationship with his boyfriend is completely unbelievable. The only redeeming moment in this film is the rear view of Margarita Levieva sitting naked on the edge of the bathtub.
For a good gigolo movie watch "La doublure" aka The Valet with Alice Taglioni, Gad Elmaleh, and Kristin Scott Thomas.The Valet (La Doublure)
How did Demi allow this??? December 14, 2009 Marcus T. Brody (Tampa Bay, FL) 0 out of 4 found this review helpful
This movie is like soft-porn.... I don't know how Demi Moore can watch this movie, seeing her husband have simulated sex with about 5 different women. I couldn't believe it, non-stop sex all throughout the movie!
With that said, it's actually a pretty good story. Was this movie even in the theatres, or was it a straight to DVD release? I'd never heard about it was a new release on DVD.
Ashton Kutcher's character kind of reminded me of myself back in my early to mid 20's. Mooching off of girls, not working, yet he was chock full of confidence, and had the know-how to seduce women and turn them into putty in his hands.
Highly entertaining, and maybe it's because I can relate to it, but I really enjoyed it.
