L.A. Johns is by far the best made for TV. movie about the big money sex
industry, as told through the life of L.A. call girl Liz (Brittney Powell).
I recorded this movie when it first aired on Fox in 1997 and still watch it
on a monthly basis because this movie is great! Thomas Calabro gives a
funny
and gritty performance as the sexually addicted David Abrams. The main
reasons for people to view this movie are to see how people use one another
to get what pleasures they want being sex, money, power, control, and love.
I'm glad a TV. movie was made about the world of a call girl and her
clients. Many people fail to realize and understand this very private and
discreet professional world. Remember we all wear masks and mirrors reflect
no matter how beautiful or ugly it may be that's how we must look at these
situations and see ourselves.

"L.A. Johns" offers a naive take on the call girl business dumbed down and
squeaky clean for prime time small screen viewing. This doggie isn't worth
explaining. Suffice it to say, the film is Razzie material fraught with
bad
acting, a lousy screen play, a shallow story, and a de facto PG rating.
Not
recommendable flotsam floating in the cable abyss.

The story is told through the call girl Liz, who goes from each john as
quickly as she can. This movie was horribly acted, scripted and is a waste
of film and time. It's a horrible attempt at a T&A movie, it's a huge
tease
and at the end leaves you hanging. It had no plot. Liz the main character
floats around aimlessly with no plot to help her through. The 18 year old
Brandi is horribly cast as she clearly looks older than 18. Not worth to
watch, if you have the energy find the remote and watch something else
with
a plot, or at least shows some action.
