Summary: GET A PEEK AT A REALLY STRANGE WAY OF LIFE
Comment: Nothing amazing here, just a really interesting Film.I really cant call it a serious documentary on the business of Pussy for sale. But some interesting characters. You just got to love " Bishop Don Magic Juan " A lot of these men's ideas will feel Alien to most of us but it's interesting to hear and see there unique perspective on life and women and the Society that condemns them but is love with the Product they sell.Some of the dialogue is priceless as are some of the intimate moments between the girls and there Employers.I think the great Fillmore Slim sums it up quite eloquently " pussy always gonna sell, even when cotton and corn don't " .

Summary: Get a grip.. it IS a documentary
Comment: I wonder about people sometimes.. they want the documentary to tell them right from wrong. That's just stupid.
This film is a verite style documentary.. they just interview pimps and prostitutes. Now think for a moment.. do you think these people are going to talk badly about their lifestyle? They are proud of it and say so. There are no rebuttals.. except in your own head (SO USE IT).. You HAVE to think.. and it does make you think.. because most of these guys are such good communicators and persuasive (basic skills of a good pimp) and very entertaining. You may be put off what they do, but you get to see their world from their perspective. So your brain is the filter for how you interpret the film.. don't look to the filmmakers to tell you what is right and wrong.
This is a real documentary.. its not an after 1:00 AM cable porn documentary. There is no nudity, nothing but long sentences of 4 letter words. And in my opinion, as someone who makes documentaries, it's a great one, and one of my personal favorites.

Summary: dont confuse it man
Comment: Your opinion of this movie should not be influnced by the people it represents
Pimps suck, thats true but this documentary does not
It is a lot of spittin game, which sometimes comes out looking like the pimps are being glorified. But this is what these pimps are like, this is how they con and make their money, its a 24/7 thing for them.
Are they always telling the truth? of course not, but the documentary is an accurate representation of what some pimps are like (albiet on a superficial level) and the philosophy they preach
