What's missing? Drug addiction.
Seriously, a friend who went to a good college, came from a good home and a Mensa membership became a high class escort to pay for school. She left the business with a drug habit, several stab wounds and a legacy of pain. She died from an overdose a decade later.
Sex workers are people. Some of them do go on to graduate school and a happy life, but most do not. Screenplays like this one only deepen the callous disregard with which men use them.
The actors do a great job, but cannot overcome the smarminess of the premise. If you want to see a romcom where broken people fall in love and heal each other, see "Silver Linings Playbook."
