Focuses on the lives of 3 hookers in some underground brothel.


The plot of this movie is non existant. It's almost like a slice-of-life type film. There are three hookers trying to satisfy every fantasy; the lesbian business woman, one french junkie and a little religious girl. Basically all they do is roleplay with male customers trying to fulfill all their needs.

So, if you're looking for a good story line or suspense or drama.......go elsewhere.

However, if you're looking for a very light comedy with three hot chics and some cheesey one-liners, look no further. I really enjoyed this film despite everything. It was kind of cutesy, kind of demented and kind of silly. The only downside is no nudity. Eh, oh well. July 8, 2006

Whoever made this video blew good money on a horrible plot and second & third string actors. I bought it as a gift, i was embarrassed because it was so bad.
Riverdance would have been a better selection..
Oh well. My husband normally loves Yancy butler, but in this movie, she's portrayed disrespectfully in ill taste, and must have needed money to buy her weekly bottle of booze...
Don't waste your money!
Any other video would be a better purchase. March 6, 2003

Because I do like this movie. In my last trying I just said I guess some people will love this movie and some people will, er, say it is valueless and believe they've ignored it successfully. It seems some words...I won't consider they are really dirty words...aren't allowed to appear on this board. I asked if a paradise of women exists, or has ever existed in some corners in the world. Then I said anyway, if you relax, or if you're still very young, you will find this movie is interesting even exciting. By the way, my past idol Vincent Perez plays a really interesting but small role and Julie Delpy is still so innocent and beautiful. She's just perfect. November 8, 2001

There's not much you can really say about this film. An interesting cast (which includes Euro babe Julie Delpy, Georgina Cates, and Pamela Gidely as a trio of hookers) cannot save this B-"drama" from low-grade, throw-away trash. "The Treat" feels like it's definitely lacking something. It's about prostitutes, and the actresses are all wildly attractive: but it's not sexy. It's rather light-hearted in its treatment of hookers: but it comes off as more hokey than fun. Made in 1998, the film is now [for unknown, unexplainable reasons] being released on DVD and VHS.
