Okay, I am about to insult millions of people AND this review will probably never be read by anyone because there are already 1249983882348378 reviews for this movie. But, because I HATE this movie so much and find it so offensive and damaging to our culture, here goes nothing! This movie is a totally brainless piece of excrement that the American public ate up and proclaimed it to be a "feel good romance". Hmmmm,...when I think "romance", I usually do NOT think about prostitutes. What I DO think of when I think of prostitutes are STDs, body lice, crack pipes, early death and ladies whose nether-regions (a polite way of saying "vaginas") are so polluted and skanky that the word "romance" hardly seems appropriate!!!. Whoever thought of this mess and created this film should be ashamed of themselves, but at least they got rich--and I assume that is the ONLY reason this sleazy film was made.
As a school teacher and parent, I am horrified that Disney or any other studio would make such patently disgusting garbage and pass it off as a "modern fairy tale". A wretched, sick and twisted view of romance that should be avoided, lest it pollute your mind and make you believe in this bilge!!!
I would have LOVED this film if instead of a beautiful Julia Roberts playing this über-sanitized hooker they'd taken a real prostitute (herpes sores on the lips and all) and had her played the part! Imagine, romanticizing such a sad and degrading way of life!
