Sweet

Rating: Null/10 (15 March 2003)

It's a bad message to send to young girls that if you become an prostitute and meet a nice rich man to call for your services, he'll fall in love with you despite you disease-potential background. Sweet, huh? Other than that underlying message, the movie was cute. They allowed Viv to be a real person. She had to be to carry the movie and for you to fee bad for her when people told her what she was. It was funny and charming and all of that mushy stuff. Some nice choice of music as well. Still, as hardened as she was, Viv seemed to know very little about being a prostitute. I know she was new, but come on. I imagine they catch on quick, if not something quick. Edward was just lost when he met her and remained that way for most of the movie until he decides that 6 days with her is enough to love her and sweep her off her feet. I don't buy movies like that, but hey, it's Hollywood. And the guy in the beginning and end does point out, "What's your dream?" Jason Alexander was a sleaze and a good one. He would have made my skin crawl. That's pretty good acting when someone can make you feel as if you were a prostitute from tv. A charming movie at best. It makes you watch, and you can't deny that.
