Fading Gigolo (2014)

That was an excellent one.

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Look I like Woody (I know he did not direct this but...), and he has so many films that not all will appeal to everyone. He is very hit and miss of course.....but are we seriously supposed to believe that these beautiful wealthy women would pay this ugly lurch to sleep with them? Not only pay him but pay him in the THOUSANDS?! The type of money that male politicians spend on prime escorts? Not only would a female not pay this lanky noodle-necked fool for sex, but I think there may even be some women who wouldn't sleep with him if HE was the one paying.Also WHY does the Jewish/Zionist industry (98% of Hollywood) feel the need to shove their ridiculous religion in our face at every turn? I get that they are in a 'Jewish' neighbourhood but seriously. It is unbearable. And male 'Jew' figures in Hollywood have a tendency to "shoot up" in their films. Woody Allen does it, Jerry Seinfeld and Costanza did it and so on.....these are some incredibly unattractive characters who just stroll around their made up worlds and score any and every beautiful female who crosses their path and make them fall head over heels for them. Please man.... get real.I just could not get past these issues with this specific film. Otherwise it could have been an OK film.

'Fading Gigolo' finds Actor-Writer-Director John Turturro in fine form, as he delivers an entertaining film, that is funny & admittedly vulgar. A charming little film, that's also well-acted! 'Fading Gigolo' Synopsis: Fioravante decides to become a professional Don Juan as a way of making money to help his cash-strapped friend, Murray. With Murray acting as his "manager", the duo quickly finds themselves caught up in the crosscurrents of love and money.'Fading Gigolo' is a tale of lust, romance & friendship. Turturro's Screenplay offers enough scope for humor & sex, while the dialogue are laugh-out-loud funny at times. Even the characters are nicely written. Turturro's Direction is impressive, too. He has handled the film admirably. Cinematography is top-notch. Editing is ably done. Performance-Wise: Turturro succeeds even as a performer. He's in his element. But its Woody Allen, who steals the show. He's extra-ordinary, yet again! Sharon Stone & Sofía Vergara are in terrific form. Vanessa Paradis is very sincere. Liev Schreiber is another topper. He's superb. Bob Balaban is delightful in a cameo.On the whole, 'Fading Gigolo' is more than satisfactory. Watch It!

The worlds oldest profession is never a dull subject and such is the case in fading gigalo. Very often when I go to talk with a friend or associate about this film I get shot down with "I don't like Woody Allen and "his" movies" and I get that(you don't like dry comedy that doesn't overwhelm but what needs to be understood is that this film is merely costarring Woody Allen as an enjoyable,humorously scheming accidental pimp in this film with John Turtorro handling the writing and direction excellent costars by the eternally seductive Sharon Stone and Sultry Sofia Vergara made this one interesting and fun for me especially Liev Schrieber as an overprotective neighborhood watch that gives sentimental and comedic value to the already comedic duo Of Turtorro and Allen.

Actor-Director John Turturro's "Fading Gigolo" was fading my attention span sporadically throughout the movie. Turturro stars as Fioravante, a middle-aged New Yorkan who decides to be a pre-geriatric Don Juan; yes, a male prostitute. The problem is that Turturro prostituted his viewers with an enticing premise, but does not deliver the creative juice in this one with neither his direction, script, and performance in the movie. Woody Allen did pimp up the acting volume with his comical supporting performance as Murray, Fioravante's conniving pimp manager. "Fading Gigolo" is just a so-so gigolo movie, and believe the words I am saying... Sorry David Lee Roth! *** Average
