Manipulative twists and turns comedy drama, a spin on media, fame, sex and gender identity!
12 June 2020
"Pretty Persuasion" a 2005 film is one that entertains as it's a nice blend of comedy and drama and the film is moved along by it's spin on fame and media culture as it uses hyperbole like themes of sex, race, and selfishness to move things along. Set in rich ultra Beverly Hills, California the story involves Kimberly Joyce(in a raw turn from Evan Rachel Wood) a spoiled self centered 15 year old teen who wants to be an up and coming actress and she will win at all cost as it's clear she will do anything for fame and success!

At school she forms a plot with her friends a devious little web a game of lies and falsehoods which puts her drama and acting teacher Percy Anderson(Ron Livingston) in hot water as he's accused of sexual misconduct! This leads to a legal trial and a media super case, as this is one way that little Kim can get attention is thru spin and scandal. In a nice sidebar and supporting turn is Jane Krakowski as Emily Klein a hot and sexy news babe that covers the trial she's some real eye candy(wow just love that sex scene in which Jane sports that sexy pink purple like colored bra!) Overall this film is a well done one of win at all costs which involves betrayal and crazy far out ways, still it's well written funny and sexy which make it a watch as things crash down in the end!
