The Escort is a 2015 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Will Slocombe, starring Michael Doneger and Lyndsy Fonseca.

Plot

Mitch Cooper (Michael Doneger), a 27-year-old journalist in Los Angeles, is single, broke, and addicted to having sex with strangers from a mobile app. Recently fired from his job and in a desperate financial situation, Mitch needs to write a good story to apply for a new job. He meets Natalie (Lyndsy Fonseca), a Stanford University-educated prostitute who, while making plenty of money, feels insecure in her unpredictable encounters. She agrees to let Mitch follow her around, apparently as her on-call bodyguard, so that Mitch can also write his story. Both lonely emotionally, the couple gradually develops feelings for each other.

Cast

Reception

Sheri Linden of Variety wrote that it is "By turns giddy, formulaic, sobering and keenly funny", while the actors "pull it off with a mix of brio and pained self-awareness".[1]
