Chloe (Amanda Seyfried) is a hooker. A busy hooker apparently. In a strange twist of fate that involves a toilet stall minus toilet paper she meets Catherine (Julianne Moore). It's just a chance meeting, but later Catherine sees Chloe and realizes that she needs her for something. You see, her husband David (Liam Neeson) has been out of town and little things have led Catherine to believe that he's been playing like Tiger Woods. So Catherine pays Chloe to tempt David. They meet and Catherine gets report. Then something strange happens- these sordid tales of dirty passion turn her on and that's not the only thing that's developing from the relationship between Chloe and Catherine.
For a film bragging a cast such as this, Chloe is a let down as a whole film. Neeson lost his wife during production of the film so his role is lessened and it shows. Moore and Seyfried are good in their roles, but as the film develops further and further and the time ticks away it becomes more and more hokey to and ending that seems to just plop there on the floor, no feeling and no real resolution other than "this is the end of the movie". It's like a jigsaw puzzle that you get all the edges done and it's going great, but then to fill in the middle- you slow down.
But Chloe will be remembered by websites that bask in bare Hollywood flesh. I'm sure somewhere in this city right now there is some guy with "the scene" on a loop as he pumps gas. Someday this film will be a punchline. It will be mentioned in a teen sex comedy and I would just like to say that you heard it here first.
