$50K and a Call Girl: A Love Story

For a film so off the radar of many viewers, I really wasn't expecting much. The title will also lead you to believe that this is some third rate slap stick comedy cobbled together by some filmmakers who didn't know any better but you are in for a pleasant surprise.

The cast consists of a real life married couple (Lauren and Seth) and a beloved brother who is terminally ill along with his "companion". All of them played their performances with warmth and authenticity. In fact, the performances were so genuine that at one point during the movie, I paused to Google this movie to see if it was actually real or based on a true story. Even though it isn't, this speaks volumes about the actors involved.

The tonality of the script was spot on and matched the theme of mortality and adventure - it even struck a nerve within me numerous times when I asked myself what I would if I was in this situation.

Overall, this film is endearing, sad and comedic at the right times. I highly recommend it, 9/10.

Being 40+, it goes without saying I have watched my fair share of movies. This one, pushed me to write a review for the first time. Despite being pushed to write something, I have difficulties putting it all in to words. But I will try.

It is quirky, odd, at times light and at times dark. It was inexplicably hard to immerse in to it from start. Having that said, in the end, it was for good reasons.

It took me through a roller coaster of emotions. It made me laugh, smile, open my eyes in disbelief, sad, heartbroken and brought tears to my eyes... Most of all, it made me think, and,,, feel. And I can not recall last time a movie made me feel what I am feeling right now.

I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone.

Especially knowing this will probably not be a mainstream blockbuster, although I hope it will be recognized as one for the love the creators have put in to it...

Found the title off putting (assumed sleazy bloke movie), read IMDb reviews, decided to chance it and……...very pleased I did. Found it a bit slow to get into but totally did get in to it … …and was sad when it ended. I don't know anything about the writer/director/actors etc and like a couple of other reviewers, was left wondering if this was actually a true story. Made me think about my own 'bucket list' and actually what I should be spending my time on … and may be more importantly, what I should STOP spending my time on. Also loved some of the sound track, particularly the last track ('Say no more') by The Cavemen (who I'd never heard of before) but now, thanks to Spotify, I have the album this is off. Great film - thanks IMDb reviewers as I wouldn't have bothered without the reviews.

The film, the say the least, was breathtaking. Rookie writers and real life brothers Seth and Ross did an absolutely phenomenal acting job in this movie. I went into the movie knowing that it was not an actual documentary (after reading several reviews online) and I paused the movie to do more research on if it is indeed a real event, that is how good the emotion of the characters are portrayed. The screen writing was also excellent, showing beautiful portraits, massive landscapes,and faces full of emotion and despair. This is the first review I have written and as mentioned above, the movie pushed me to write one.

I would indeed call this movie one of the best of 2013.

i usually don't write reviews especially for all the 'romance' in this movie. with that being said the movie has an incredible plot and i think its an absolutely fantastic movie.. (can really put things in perspective)... certain scenes get pretty sad thinking what if it was you or something.....there's really no one genre for the movie and honestly there was good amount of comedy too....i highly recommend anyone 16+ to see it. i personally don't know much about the cast and what not what they did an absolute marvelous job acting.. this movie definitely deserves nominations for some type of awards...........GO WATCH THIS MOVIE IT WORTH IT!
