9 Terrible Jobs The Movies Made Look Awesome

1. Prostitute - Pretty Woman

Pretty WomanIn Reality: Prostitution is an ugly business patronized by ugly people. For those looking to engage in a little play-for-pay, you usually have one of two options. You can cruise the streets of the nearest inner city, hoping to find a female of questionable morality pedaling her wares on one of the corners, or you can contact an escort service who will provide you "companioship" at exorbitant prices. Neither of these scenarios are appealing to most people, and the women employed in this field have usually found themselves at the wrong end of a dead-end street with very little options. Nothing says sex appeal like a cracked out hag who is only sleeping with you because she's desperate for drug money. In The Film: First of all, Julia Robert's Vivian Ward is obviously gorgeous. She of the infectious smile and tousled curls, you'd be hard-pressed to find another "lady of the night" that attractive. Richard Gere sweeps her off her feet, spoiling her with lavish gifts and extravagant dates in hopes of steering her away from passionless sex with strangers and into a life of love with a multimillionaire. You wouldn't think it would be a hard sale, but not even an attempted rape at the hands of George Costanza was enough to woo her to his side. However, after a little more courting, eventually she relents and the two live their fairy tale. Not exactly the ending most one night stands with hookers leads to. Are there any examples we missed? Let us know in the comments.
