SPREAD: TAKE THE TITLE IN THE WORST POSSIBLE WAY

My whole life it was obvious I was going to end up in this city. I don't want to be arrogant here, but I'm an incredibly attractive man. I can't help it, I don't try to be, I just am. When I was a kid my mother's best friend used to tell me that I was gonna be a little heart breaker. Turns out she was right. Her husband came home from work one day and found us fuckin' on the Stairmaster. Los Angeles, California - that's where all the beautiful little heart breakers go to live the dream. 30,000 of them arrive here every single month. 30,000 prom kings and queens, and little miss cute tits every one of them with stars in their eyes and a dream in their heart.

Poor jaded Ashton Kutcher. Nikki (Kutcher) is a grifter, a player, boy toy and amateur porn star. He uses and abuses people just to get what he wants. Moat of those are older women, starved for sex and a younger man. Of course the audience is not to read too far into this in so far as it reflects the parallels in his own life. No, Nikki is a user and dirty and numb... until he meets a fellow female grifter who steals his insy-weensy heart of gold. Sorry, I just threw up a little in my mouth. This is a terrible film. While watching it I had two repetitive thoughts. Kutcher can not play this part and Anne Heche looks really good. Other than that, it lacked plot, dialogue and meaningful characters. Perhaps just like it LA, it was all show and no substance.
No bite: Borderline amateur porn rather than film.
