Movie review for the day

Rico says that, in the 'they're really doing it?' category, the strangest Movie of the Week would be The Sessions, which he watched recently with the ladyfriend:

A man in an iron lung who wishes to lose his virginity contacts a professional sex surrogate with the help of his therapist and priest.

Well, it's a little more complicated than that, of course, but the surprise was who was in it (let alone who was in whom): John Hawkes as Mark, the disabled guy (who really isn't); Helen Hunt as Cheryl, the sex surrogate (who really did strip down and get it on with Mark); Adam Arkin as Cheryl's lover; and the always-excellent William H. Macy as Father Brendan. There were minor roles from familiar faces, too, like Rhea Perlman...

Rico says it was a good movie, though it was hard to watch a guy who, despite his disability, was getting more than Rico is these days (okay, okay, the guy was paying for it), and from Helen Hunt at that...
