Short Review

This movie surprised me if I'm being completely honest. It may be cliché but it took a different approach to tell the tale, which I can appreciate. The sex industry as a whole is still very much taboo in our society, so it is not an easy area to explore. What makes a movie like 27 Dresses more successful than this?
