Fading Gigolo
Fade To Blah
Official Website | Trailers & Mo
R | 90 min
Apparently actor John Turturro fancies himself a writer and a director.  More like fantasies, as in, YOU WISH PAL, cause if his Fading Gigolo is any proof of his writing and directing skills, his proof in his pudding has zero taste
I like the idea of Woody Allen playing a hapless rookie pimp, but that idea is basically wasted in the movie’s actuality, as he guides Turturro’s blah blank character in-between the legs of Sharon Stone and SofÃa Vergara.  Sure, there’s some interesting stuff going on between Woody and Turt and a lonely Hasidic widow, played by Vanessa Paradis, but it’s about touch, and not at all touching
This movie is basically a failed attempt at being a movie, and this review is a failed attempt at reviewing a movie that doesn’t really even need to be reviewed, or seen.  It’s only for Woody Allen acting completists.  For everyone else, it’s a complete waste of time
Verdictgo: Very Very Very Very Very Little Merit and No Stinkin Badges
Gigolo is low hanging unsweet fruit, currently in limited release
and until next thyme the balcony is clothed…
