gracepaint This movie is the most degrading movie I have ever seen and should be banned !!!!

Desiree Ashton Kutcher costars with the beautiful Margarita Levieva. He plays a young Hollywood wannabe, Nikki. He appears put together, handsome, rich and successful due to his wardrobe, the women he sees, and the houses he occupies; unbeknownst to everyone he encounters Nikki is poor and homeless. Nikki makes his living by sleeping with rich women; he then becomes their lovely charity case. The women find themselves attached to him and want him as their own. Nikki is perfectly fine with the situation until he meets Heather (Levieva). She, like him, makes her living by targeting rich men. The two are attracted to each other and begin an unconventional relationship. Things are going well until Nikki wants Heather all to himself. Will the two gigolo types be able to have a real functional relationship?Spread was decent. It wasn't like anything else I have seen which made it fascinating. The plot was intriguing. While watching the film I became more and more disappointed as time went on. There wasn't much development or room for this movie to progress. I felt as though it were stuck in a bit of a rut.I was both surprised and pleased by the ending. Not every relationship ends with a happy ending. Sometimes love isn't enough. Spread proves that and shows that to us through common situations with a slight twist from reality.

crawlingintoyou For those who read about pick-up artists(PUA), must be familiar with the term Average Frustrated Chump(AFC). From being an AFC, with the right skill and practice, you become PUA or Womanizer or player, whichever you want to call. PUA in Mystery's era was packed with skill like 3 seconds rule,winging, Demonstrate-high-value(DHV), DLV, body-rocking and so on. The naked eyes cannot see these skills played by Ashton Kutcher. Those familiar with PUA will.Upon understanding this you will see why this movie is great. The writer must have done a very good research on Pick-Up artist scene and very skillful at writing 3-act structure screenplay. The writer has reversed the hero's journey from being a Player to complete AFC, in which in reality, an average guy would be from a complete AFC to skillful player. That concept made this movie genius and brilliant. It has been crafted skillfully in 3-act structure screenplay.Ashton Kutcher did a very good acting with his body language, facial expression and his voice tone. From different perspective, the shots are so artistic, and the soundtracks are well positioned in certain scenes. The second time you watch it(you will!), you will memorize the dialogs and the soundtracks, and what song comes next.This is certainly not your another romantic comedy movie. It is a movie for certain audience, and for those who read Pick-Up artist stuffs, will find this movie 10/10. I dare to say, this movie is one of the kind, the only movie in its category, with genius screenplay and great acting.. and of course..great sex scenes!

MBunge Spread isn't funny and generates very little drama because it's all about a main character you have no reason to give a damn about, but for the first 70 minutes or so it seems like it has a point to make and that's enough to hold your interest. It also helps that there's a smokin' hot and very naked Anne Heche on screen for some of that time. Then it flounders into a final 20 minutes that abandons every interesting possibility suggested in the story and replaces it with the worst kind of hackneyed clichés all built around a truly absurd supporting character. This was never going to be a great film, but it nosedives into laughably bad by the end.Nikki (Ashton Kutcher) is a man-whore cruising through the Los Angeles party scene. Once, he was one of the thousands of young people who flock to LA every year seeking fame and fortune. Now still very handsome but not all that young, all Nikki seeks is a constant supply of young chicks to bang and a series of sugar mommies to support him. With no home and no car, Nikki seduces older, well off women and insinuates himself into their lives until he gets bored and moves on to another conquest. His latest meal ticket is Sam (Anne Heche), who he throws himself at and relentlessly screws until she trusts him enough to leave him in her Hollywood hills home when she goes to New York. At that point, Nikki throws a big party in Sam's home and starts boinking young women on the side, until Sam catches him in that act. But after a flash of anger, Sam decides to keep Nikki around as her live-in boy toy.Now so far in this movie, Heche has been impressively nude just enough to hold your attention and while Spread hasn't been all that entertaining, it appears at this point it might have something to say about Nikki, Sam and their relationship. That turned out to be a bad assumption on my part. Instead of plunging into Sam and Nikki and exploring them as real people living real lives, Nikki just arbitrarily falls in love with a waitress named Heather (Margarita Levieva), almost entirely because she's the only woman in the story who resists his charms. Sam then catches Nikki cheating on her far less flagrantly than before, but this time she kicks him out. Then Nikki's life arbitrarily (there's that word again) falls apart and he winds up almost homeless and hustling middle-aged ladies at hotel pools for sandwiches.Heather then arbitrarily (getting the hint?) decides to take Nikki and let him live with her. They start acting like boyfriend and girlfriend until Nikki finds out that Heather has a rich fiancée in New York City. They sort of but not quite have a fight, Heather runs away to the Big Apple and then this thing turns into a lame romantic-comedy where Nikki flies to New York to win her back. He doesn't get her back, and the film ends with Nikki in some nebulous state of existence in LA.Spread is yet another motion picture that is reasonably well executed but horribly ill conceived. The entire thing is centered on Nikki. No other character exists except in connection to him. However, there's almost nothing interesting about him. He's an amoral and purposeless drifter who gets by in life entirely on his good looks and lack of a conscious. It's only when Sam catches him getting a blow job in her home but still keeps him around that there's even a hint of anything intriguing about this story. Sam takes control of the relationship and her own life at that moment and there's every indication that it's going to lead to a deeper look into why these two people are they way they are and the nature of their free floating sexual and personal connection.Nothing like that happens. Sam is just arbitrarily (that word keeps coming up, doesn't it?) ejected from the story and Nikki is thrown together with Heather, with the painfully obvious idea that Heather winds up treating Nikki the way he used to treat women and boy, isn't that all ironic and stuff? But Heather doesn't really treat Nikki the way he used to treat women, so there goes all that, and she turns out to be a completely unbelievable character. She begins in the story as a waitress in LA, dating older guys for their money and eventually hooking up with Nikki. Then we find out she's got a rich New York fiancée, but if that's true…what the hell is she doing working as a waitress in LA, dating older guys and hooking up with a man-whore like Nikki? This film never makes even the vaguest attempt to explain or justify any of that.Spread isn't aggressively horrible. Heche gives a nice performance and looks even nicer without any clothes on. Ultimately, though, it's not funny or clever and you never think or feel anything about what happens in this movie. Skip it.
