When a desperate fashion photographer bets his rival he can turn an ordinary girl into a super-model, he has no idea of the consequences -- especially when he falls for her.

Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
moviequeen I think Scott Elrod is totally hot so when I saw this movie on my recommend list on Netflix I decided to give a try. Big mistake!It's a fashion photographer version of She's All That. Elrod was the only thing to make this movie watchable to the end. Everyone's acting in this movie was so flat even Elrod. I can't even blame them because the dialogue was horrible! As a writer, I would be embarrassed to have this on screen. The guy from the Sopranos was the only one who could carry off his dialogue. There was misplaced scenes that didn't make sense, needed better editing. There was really a need for character development. I'm sure it was a quick shoot for the budget. Don't waste your time, I wish I hadn't wasted mine.
Jerry This is a very predictable story about a woman being the subject of a bet between two men, a story that has been told in films 1000 times. Here they don't even try to create some nuance to it, resulting in a boring screenplay. The acting is less than average, there is no nudity, nothing really attractive about this one. The beautiful Natasha Lyonne is what attracted me to this film, but we get to see her only in a cheap restaurant waitress uniform. What is most amazing is that it won 4 awards at the Monaco International film festival. So pay no attention to that. Running this screenplay by a good writer could have made it a worthwhile film to see.
