Touches You

Fantastic!

Admirable film.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

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

oh my... what can i say... i really did try with this one, i like some of the directors other films so i thought i would stick with it... the story begins with a ludicrous scenario where gigolo/hustler/party animal Nikki meets the Anne Heche character at a party... she of course just happens to be a highly successful lawyer with a dream apartment... oh and no partner or children of course... or even friends or so it seems! within a few minutes he's charmed her and is driving her and her car back to the luxury apartment for a night of hot sex etc... and so begins a relationship based on need/lust/desire between two empty vapid people... the story continues with lots of flashy snippets of the couple having sex and as usual for films of people who live in these dream show apartments, everything is always clean and immaculate, the fridge is always full, the bathroom always has fresh towels, the pool is always clean and not full of leaves... i could go on but lets just say watch it yourself and find out does the player get played or does he have a heart after all? and much more importantly will you even care!

I read about this movie in a men forum and I was expecting it to be sort of a PUA guide type movie, but it turned out to be more than that.The movie is about one young attractive chap that finds itself in the loop of sex and party lifestyle in LA and his way out of that.As soon as the movie started, I was pleasantly surprised by the image technique used, as it instantly gave me the feeling of nostalgia and homesickness. You can tell that this movie is about feelings just by that, and if you are not open to that, you are not going to like it.The character, Nikki, which basically lives off having sex with rich women, eventually finds that this is not a way to live, as his only real friend abandons him after having enough of his arrogant behaviour. Him, being detached from his feelings from years of a heartless lifestyle, can't demonstrate appreciation to people, and specially love isn't in his agenda. And against all odds he actually falls for this one girl who he connected with in the weirdest way possible, and that is the beauty of it.The reason why I liked this movie so much, is that it gives you an insight of how different styles of life are, how the mind of the person works, how he got drawn into that and how he develops and grows throughout the movie. And specially because I could relate to it, in some way. People who have been through a lot of change in life will relate too, because this movie is about that.It is not a movie just about sex, like I read in some comments. Yes, it does have some sex, I'm sorry that you can't watch this next to your 12 year old, but that doesn't make it a bad movie just because of that. The sex scenes are there for a reason, and it is to better express how his life is centred mainly on that in the early stages of the movie.The ending killed me, but it is real. I would rather have it the other way, but it is not always like that. If you appreciate the rest of the movie, the ending will just slap you in the face, like it did to me.The acting is very decent. The main complaints that I've heard is that Ashton was not very good expressing feelings - this shows that you've not been paying attention - the character is meant to NOT express real feelings at all, its the basis of his life style. So the fact that Ashton didn't express feelings well, its great and fits perfectly with the character. The first time that he actually felt some sort of real feeling, it was awkward, and that's how it's supposed to be lol. The main characters, Ashton and Margarita Levieva, were great, and their relation warmed my heart.The scenes were excellent and the shooting is very well achieved.My advice is watch it. It isn't a movie with a huge budget and I wouldn't call it an Oscar movie obviously, but a movie that will make your feelings flourish and come to your skin, if you have any.

when i first read the plot summary, i was expecting a fairly bland, generic movie. this is not what i saw. I enjoyed this movie and it was not something you'd expect from Ashton Kutcher. the original story plot and strong characters made this movie far better than a low budget, 1 star movie ever should be. the versatility of Kutcher is shown as he plays a character that isn't anything like is normal. i thought the movie was entertaining due to the new, fresh plot line. Despite the fact there was a fair amount of 'adult' content within, it managed to keep your mind of of this and use it in an almost tasteful way, and use it to build the root of the characters even stronger. this is definitely a film i recommend, the only reason i give it a 7 is because of the fact this could have been made far better with a higher budget. going on plot alone, this is a solid 9. if you have 1hr and a half, watch it.
