Watching this film I was reminded of some of those screwball comedies of the 1930s and 40s, with a touch of Tarantino thrown in, and a large dollop of raunchy non PC outrageousness. The story is in fact very modern. Beautiful escort girl in NYC gets mixed up with a Russian oligarch's son and marries him ...what could possibly go wrong? Well, everything. It's witty, outrageously non PC, explicit, and a lot of fun throughout. Yes, many of the characters are quite cartoonish and it is at times a bit of a pastiche, but Mikey Madison is brilliant in the lead, and it's all done with panache and terrific energy. Some might question its moral compass, but I loved this often crazy, funny, manic and very adult entertainment.
