I was not sure what I was signing up to when I spied The Escorts (also known as Amateur Night) on the TV menu while looking for something to watch this morning but I soon got the handle of it. One married man (Jason Biggs) whose wife is heavily pregnant driving around three hookers/escorts I thought to myself I could buy into this.
I don't want to say that Biggs completely brings back his Jim persona from "American Pie" but he does. There is a scene were Jim is handed a bag full of sex toys to clean giving me a chuckle or two we have here a light comedy.
Jim is an unemployed architecture graduate, he and his wife (Jenny Mollen) are expecting a baby, and Guy is freakin' out because he has no means in which to provide and support his family. His wife, Anne, then finds him a job as a driver on Craigslist. Guy thinks it's some kind of pizza delivery job, turns out, it's a job where he has to drive sex workers around town from one client to another.
That's how he meets the unapologetic Nikki (Janet Montgomery) to take her to a doctor client. Later joining her two equally sexy associates, Jaxi (Ashley Tisdale) and Fallon (Bria Murphy) who together work a bachelor party. Guy's job is initially just their driver but as the night progresses, Guy also becomes sort of like their faux pimp, at the end, he proves to the girls and to himself that he has what it takes to be a responsible father.
Essentially this is a party movie, much of the pivotal moments in terms of the characters' growth takes place in this long wild bachelor's party scene, and I have to give Janet Montgomery, Bria Murphy, and Ashley Tisdale a cheer for their courage to wear those risqué costumes. They even nailed down the physically demanding dances too. I myself knowing little about the hooking profession felt they pull it off with flying colours.
The dynamics between the three actresses and Jason Biggs is fluid, they look like they were having a laugh. And you see their characters' relationship evolve from them teaching this rookie, so to speak, to them sympathizing and wanting to help him. Biggs' character, Guy Carter, also goes from being reluctant to being glad that he doesn't miss out on this one crazy night.
I enjoyed the film it didn’t feel dirty it was just some damn hot girls fleecing gullible man from their cash I end up liking these hardnosed business woman.
