Erwin Tmc (gigolotmc) AND AGAIN A GIGOLO MOVIE… Fading Gigolo is just entertainment and – as usual – completely unrealistic. Just like almost all Hollywood Gigolo movies. And books by the way.Yes.. the classic Gigolo image sells LOL and it's an entertaining movie. But in the real world professional gigolos do a completely different and very, very difficult job in offering ladies and couples the attention they need. It's hard work, mentally and physically, and only 1 out of 1.000 men are suitable for this very demanding gigolo job. And you won't believe the things they experience... Far more sensational and touching than we can watch in all gigolo movies till now. Hollywood producers wake up! What's wrong with you??As leading gigolo agency we have recently been consulted for some European gigolo movies and shows. And the only realistic aspect in 'Fading Gigolo' are the generally good looking female clients. Woody Allen, Sharon Stone, John Turturro, Sofia Vergara, thanks for the promotion... Looking for more information about the real gigolo world? Have a look at our website www.gigolo-escort.co.uk and read the many authentic and anonymus reviews from our clients.
Bee Friendly An unlikely plot, but charming to watch. Best parts of the movie are the sexy "older" ladies and of course the diner where Allen and Turturro meet. Who wouldn't like that New York back? Interesting to find out about the insane lives or Orthodox Jewish women. One thing more: Turturro is unfortunately in his worst role, I mean he doesn't flinch, he doesn't express anything at all. He should have outsourced that role. An "un-pretty man" doesn't have to be that dull. Over all great New York scenes and a good Liev Schreiber as well. Music is great, too, and since one has to write 10 whole lines here, goodness only knows why, I will say that WOody Allen was pretty cute, too. Almost like the old days.
Python Hyena Fading Gigolo (2013): Dir: John Turturro / Cast: John Turturro, Woody Allen, Vanessa Paradis, Liev Schreiber, Sharon Stone: Faded is the innocence of youth, however, in John Turturro's hilarious comedy we learn that age and passion can mend together. He stars as Fioravante who arranges flowers and is best friends with Murray, played by Woody Allen who works at a failing bookstore. Murray brainstorms an idea that has him pimp out Fioravante to mostly wealthy older women seeking love and affection. He balks at first but after weighing his options he accepts. Turturro spins the charm giving these women their passions realized but he falls in love with Avigal, a Jewish woman who cries when he massages her because it is the first time she felt passionate touch since her husband passed away. She is played with innocent and wonder by Vanessa Paradis and she embraces these emotions once lost. Liev Schreiber is amusing as a neighborhood Jewish patrol officer who has feelings for Avigal. He follows her before eventually following Murray. Woody Allen is scene stealing hilarious as this scheming individual who finds opportunity through every female he encounters. Sharon Stone plays a wealthy client who first books Turturro along with her friend, played by Sofia Vergara for a threesome. Theme addresses age and passion and a longing to belong. As director Turturro balances these themes with humour without resorting to corny clichés. The result is a comedy that will not likely be fading from anyone's memory any time soon after the first pleasurable engagement. Score: 10 / 10
meeza 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
