Los Angeles: Luxo e Decadência

The story is told through the call girl Liz, who goes from each john as quickly as she can. This movie was horribly acted, scripted and is a waste of film and time. It's a horrible attempt at a T&A movie, it's a huge tease and at the end leaves you hanging. It had no plot. Liz the main character floats around aimlessly with no plot to help her through. The 18 year old Brandi is horribly cast as she clearly looks older than 18. Not worth to watch, if you have the energy find the remote and watch something else with a plot, or at least shows some action.

L.A. Johns is by far the best made for TV. movie about the big money sex industry, as told through the life of L.A. call girl Liz (Brittney Powell). I recorded this movie when it first aired on Fox in 1997 and still watch it on a monthly basis because this movie is great! Thomas Calabro gives a funny and gritty performance as the sexually addicted David Abrams. The main reasons for people to view this movie are to see how people use one another to get what pleasures they want being sex, money, power, control, and love. I'm glad a TV. movie was made about the world of a call girl and her clients. Many people fail to realize and understand this very private and discreet professional world. Remember we all wear masks and mirrors reflect no matter how beautiful or ugly it may be that's how we must look at these situations and see ourselves.

"L.A. Johns" offers a naive take on the call girl business dumbed down and squeaky clean for prime time small screen viewing. This doggie isn't worth explaining. Suffice it to say, the film is Razzie material fraught with bad acting, a lousy screen play, a shallow story, and a de facto PG rating. Not recommendable flotsam floating in the cable abyss.

This is a small and short satire about that absurd, miserable and materialistic world, the main actress fits perfectly into her character, because it is what a man dreams of with a woman to make love to her, blonde and blue-eyed. The other characters are basic in these stories, but they fulfill their role without exaggerating. Debbie Harry plays a gentle and affable Madame from Beverly Hills, who is almost the same as the witch she played in Tales from the Darkside (1990). Maybe with a bigger budget they would have done more exterior scenes, because that area of Los Angeles is very interesting architecturally. In the end there is a kind of moral about these types of activities and behaviors that are worth discussing at a gathering of friends.
