AND AGAIN A GIGOLO MOVIE… Fading Gigolo is just entertainment and – as usual – completely unrealistic. Just like almost all Hollywood Gigolo movies. And books by the way.Yes.. the classic Gigolo image sells LOL and it's an entertaining movie. But in the real world professional gigolos do a completely different and very, very difficult job in offering ladies and couples the attention they need. It's hard work, mentally and physically, and only 1 out of 1.000 men are suitable for this very demanding gigolo job. And you won't believe the things they experience... Far more sensational and touching than we can watch in all gigolo movies till now. Hollywood producers wake up! What's wrong with you??As leading gigolo agency we have recently been consulted for some European gigolo movies and shows. And the only realistic aspect in 'Fading Gigolo' are the generally good looking female clients. Woody Allen, Sharon Stone, John Turturro, Sofia Vergara, thanks for the promotion...

You get what you pay for. Even when the product itself has no idea of it's/his own value. You could argue that Torturro thinks a bit too much of himself and that's not accounting for him directing and starring in this, but in what role he gets into (no pun intended). But that would be beside the point, criticizing him for that.The movie itself feels a bit like a Woody Allen, no surprise he's in it too. He's doing his usual thing, which is either funny or annoying to the viewer. Torturro mostly plays it straight, though he does have a couple of jokes himself. Sharon Stone who did have the only scene of nudity in this, might remind some of her earlier roles (there is more of her in the deleted scenes section), but her character does have an epiphany, which is a nice character note towards the end.We have a nice ensemble of actors here, all doing a decent job. The ending also elevates this a bit more, though I'm not sure if it compensates for everyone what came before it

Be it Woody Allen or Rob Schneider, a comedy about an average Shmoe who tries his hand at becoming a top-notch gigolo was never going to be the subtlest of propositions to the viewer. To actor-writer-director John Turturro's credit, he actually pulls that part off quite well: His innocuous and laconic Fioravente is so far off the radar of female sex fiends such as Sharon Stone (yeah, she's still got it -- not bad for a 55 years old mum of three) that he just about manages to come off as mysteriously attractive. Allen himself is also pretty funny as Murray the pater familias of a black patchwork family, turned part-time mack.Enters former pop nymphette slash jailbait Vanessa Paradis as Avidal, an ultraorthodox Jewish widow from Williamsburg. Get this, she works as the nit (headlice) remover for Allen's children, and as such Allen hooks her up with the fella he's pimping. Better not think too long about that one. Anyways, they naturally fall in love (I mean Avidal and Fioravente, not Avidal and Murray) and we get the heaviest dose of unmitigated Shtetl romance ever since the Fiddler On The Roof, or possibly even Yentl. But Avidal ultimately decides on a neighbourhood watchman from her neighbourhood who confides that he has watched her ever since he was a boy. Murray on the other hand is kidnapped (or, in his case, old-kacker-napped) and put before a orthodox Jewish tribunal. All this was probably envisioned to be light-hearted cross-cultural entertainment, but to me it was a Dantean glimpse down into the pits of hell.

Review: I really enjoyed this movie! The storyline is great and I liked the whole, Woody Allen as a pimp, concept. It's very well written by John Turturro, who also directed the movie, and the cast was a great choice. I couldn't help laughing all the way through the film and it's hard not to admire Sofia Vergara's assets. Anyway, with that aside, the performances by the cast was believable and great to watch. When Vanessa Paradis gets emotional, you can't help but feel for her character who eventually comes out of her shell with the help of the gigolo's services. Sharon Stone and Sofia Vergara also benefit from the gigolo's expertise, but he eventually loses a taste for his profession after falling for Paradis's character. It's 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 Turturro's 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 don't 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
