Shallow, melodramatic, pretentious and wildly misguided, it's also ambitious, entertaining and rather funny.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The film becomes unintentionally funny when he falls for another hustler (Margarita Levieva) with even less conscience, their grand passion leading to ludicrous behavior and soap-opera dialogue.
The film doesn't quite come off, though lots and lots of clothes do during its randy, random 97 minutes.
Although Kutcher deserves some credit for trying to spread his professional wings, it quickly becomes clear that he's in over his head.
A witless homage to Shampoo and American Gigolo that's brain-dead on arrival.
