8/10
Excellent TV movie about the world's oldest profession proving some will do it when desperate times arrive.

This past summer I must say it was a pleasure to view this Lifetime original movie starring sweetheart and the cute Jennifer Love Hewitt. Over the years many movies have been made about prostitution and escorts this was a watch for the fact that it had Jennifer Love Hewitt in the role of a working girl which was a little uncommon since she takes mostly sweetheart and nice roles.

Anyway this film captures the current times of the recession well as many are struggling with these economic times. It's story was based on actual events it occurs in a small Texas town Jennifer Love Hewitt is Samantha Horton a young woman who's married with small children. And you guessed it tough times have come her husband is laid off and the mortgage payment and making ends meet each month becomes harder and harder. Eventually it's foreclosure time.

Then one day Samantha sees an ad advertising for work as a massage therapist, Samantha arrives at the establishment only to soon learn that these group of girls do a little more than massages. This is a private house of sex call it a massage parlor, in call service or a house of escorts it's pleasure for money. Samantha becomes a top notch girl earning plenty of money to save their house and she pays the bills and spends a lot on material things.

Yet as with pleasure their is a price to pay as soon guilt and shame is felt by Samantha it starts to break down her family life and her body takes a tired toll. Even though some of the finest and most well to do Texas men are clients eventually the playhouse of passion and erotic lust is busted and Samantha's days as a sex worker are over. Really this was a life wakeup call as Samantha had to take a fall from the lifestyle to rediscover family, love, and faith.

Really good TV movie that proves sex sells and that many live secret lifestyles and it shows many will go to desperate measures to make ends meet. Jennifer Love Hewitt is a delight to watch the scenes of her in sexy lingerie especially seeing her in a black bra was an eye candy treat and it was nice to see an appearance from Cybill Shepherd as Love Hewitt's mom. "The Client List" is one TV movie to watch.
