The film insistently asserts its autobiographical roots at the expense of sharper plotting and characterizations, not to mention more energetic pacing.

Here is a film about truly extraordinary events that is mostly autobiographical and true to the lives and experiences of writers and directors Joe Syracuse and Lisa Addario which never manages to feel personal, and instead is reduced to coming off as just another raunchy comedy.

Caught thus on Hulu for free, Had a few laughs and some interesting scenes to go with a so-so plot. Jason Biggs essentially plays the same guy from American Pie but his chemistry with Janet Montgomery was pretty spot on. I also enjoyed Janet Montgomery as well as Ashley Tisdale's performance for this movie

The movie claiming to be a comedy made in 2016. The movie is an extremely boring and lame movie. An architect cannot find a job. His wife is pregnant and he has no health insurance. The birth is approaching, so she needs to find a job urgently. His wife is applying for a courier job for the man. But it turns out that the job is to carry an escort. What follows is nonsense and not funny at all. It would be more logical to watch a strip dance video instead of watching the movie. Because this is what happened in the movie and they released it as a comedy. The title of the movie and itself are very compatible with each other. There is plenty of sexuality and nudity in the movie.

Biggs is appealing in the central role, although for him, conveying mortified embarrassment doesn't exactly qualify as an acting stretch. But he does have good chemistry with Montgomery.

Besides the narrative reversal, Montgomery is the only interesting part of the film — smart, obstinate, and ambitious. The gross-out scenes and raunchy banter between the film's sex workers are funny, but its world is pretty small and unsurprising.

The film is peppered with interesting true-life details, but these are overwhelmed by frantic comedic sequences.

Zero laughs. This movie is boring, unfunny and predictable. Jason Biggs plays the same American Pie character. I think Janet Montgomery should fire her agent. Cedric Yarbrough is underutilized.
