This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I'm not sure what seemed further divorced from reality-that Aaron Spelling continued to give his daughter slutty roles, or that I was expected to believe that people would pay for sex with the thing under the bridge. Either way, suspension of disbelief can only be taken to a certain point and paying for sex with Tori Spelling went well beyond that point.I love things that lack any redeeming quality because they're so easy to laugh at, and this movie made me cry. Even still, it was awful so I can't give rate it higher than a middle rating. So be warned! That five I give this has nothing to do with being mediocre, but so far from it that I couldn't help laughing at it's failings.

Said to be based on a true story, Tori Spelling stars as Joanna Halbert, smart girl, good student, medical school is in her plans, dad died when she was young, she helps her mom by working in the bakery. One day on a whim a friend of hers leaves Joanna's name and a message, as a prank, on the answering machine of a Los Angeles escort service. She gets a return call from Kimberly (Jeri Ryan, recently of "Boston Public"), is invited to a Malibu party, is made to feel special, goes to dinner with a client, gets an envelope with $400 cash. She is very reluctant but, being poor and somewhat "needy", accepts only because she is told she will never be asked to do anything she feels uncomfortable with. Being innocent and trusting, she believed that lie.MAJOR SPOILERS. As she progresses in her sideline, she sleeps with some clients because she likes them, but refuses others. Made to feel guilty, then threatened, she just wants to get out. "Let me go, please. We can still be friends", she pleads with Ron Tamblin (Scott Plank). In what is in all likelihood self-defense, she shoots him, thinks she has killed him, runs away, is arrested, he is alive, and points to her as the shooter.In the eventual trail, Ron the pimp is exposed as a fraud with many identities, shady businesses, and a tax evader. The jury believes the testimony of Joanna, who claims self-defense, and is acquitted on both charges. As she walks through the courthouse halls with mom and Jack, her boyfriend, Ron leers at her with a giant grin, a strange ending.I never cared for Tori Spelling on the TV series, and with her father's looks isn't particularly attractive, but she does a respectable job in this role.

A college student(Tori Spelling),by way of a friend's prank, becomes involved in the world of the high dollar escort business. She is swept away with the fancy lifestyle and the free flowing money. When she realizes she wants to be free of her exploitation; her world caves in on her. She ends up confessing her secretive life style after being charged with attempted murder.I actually saw this on Showtime, but it seemed like the Lifetime Network, where women usually always survive and conquer. Despite the subject matter, this flick is pretty tame. No questionable language, no nudity and no soundtrack to break up your boredom.I have to admit this is the best thing I have seen Ms. Spelling do, and that is stretching it a bit. Also in the cast are: Susan Blakely, Scott Plank and Jeri Ryan.

This movie is astounding...it's all about how Tori Spelling becomes (sort of "accidentally") a high-priced call girl while in college. Tori wears some amazing getups while trying to elude the evil pimp who's trying to turn her into his prize call girl. Tori's the glue binding this epic together...she's spellbinding. I was haunted by her performance in this.
