An original drama about love and prostitution
jigallojoe18 October 2003
This short drama is by the first time director Garrett Wilkes and explores the developing relationship between a male and female prostitute. Frances Collins is a struggling gigolo attempting to raise some cash to pay for his ambitious girlfriends University fees. In agreement with his girlfriend he only accepts male clients although when he neglects this agreement and visits a female client named Sonja things begin to get complicated.

It turns out Sonja is a frustrated prostitute seeking some action from the clients perspective. There is obvious chemistry between the two although when Frances attempts to get to know her, he is disappointed when she wants to keep their relationship strictly confined to the bedroom. Frances' home-life becomes unstable when his girlfriend discovers his female client and Frances himself experiences some emotionally insecurity and ambiguity in relation to his troubled love-life. Frances needs to consider his feelings for the women in his life and make a decision about who he really loves which does not prove a simple task.

The film is shot and edited well with some electrifying sex scenes and convincing acting from the cast. 'You Can't buy Love' is an original drama which explores some interesting aspects of love and prostitution.

Examines inter racial relationships and stereotypes
deadrathead28 December 2006
I have seen this film, and the other user comment is fake and defamatory.

The director of this film is Garrick Wilkie, not Garrett Wilkes. This family film examines inter racial relationships and stereotypes. The other user comment should be removed.

Sonja Dunson, former Miss Michigan, wrote, directed and starred in the film. Dunson, a TV star in the 70's, has starred in many dramas including a recurring role on "Emergency". The film was shot in various locations in the San Fernando Valley.

Dunson plays Sonja, a woman involved with Gordon, a younger Caucasian man. The romance becomes conflicted when Sonja's family pressures her to break the relationship off with Gordon and marry a black man.
