Nude Celebs: Emily Grace -

Slow-paced, low-key 2004 drama gets you there, but you have to be patient. Action fans will probably bail 10 minutes into this movie, which would be a shame, because it has some nice twists and a couple of surprises.

A young woman from New Hampshire is heading to Florida to pursue a career in marine biology. Her car is old, her money is tight, but things are fine until she's hit on at a rest stop. She rebukes the guy, then returns to find her tire flat. As she continues her trip, the engine blows, apparently because the oil was drained, and she discovers her money is gone. Along comes a nice older couple in a RV, whom she met at the rest stop. They're going to Florida, and offer her a ride, so she abandons her car and goes with them.

As the trip proceeds painfully slowly, with many stops and detours along the way, she discovers the woman is actually a truck-stop prostitute, and her husband is the business manager/pimp. Eventually, they recruit her into the business.

What makes this a good movie is that just when you think you've figured things out, a plot twist turns things around. However, this movie requires a lot of patience. I enjoyed it, so for me, it was worth it, but many will be put off by the pace and lack of action.
