Don't bother - Johns review by CP Customer
David Arquette is cute but nothing else makes this film worth watching, tired plot and nothing original. Don't bother!

Unoriginal and unsatisfying - Johns review by CP Customer
Despite Arquette’s likeable character and reasonable performance, this is just another movie about a male prostitute. There’s nothing new here with John doing anything he can to earn an extra buck, dodging the guys he owes money to and taking the usual risks while hustling on the streets. In short the film doesn’t really go anywhere and as a result is fairly unsatisfying. Even the ending is predictable and inevitable. On the whole downbeat, depressing and barely kept me awake.
