Thanks to a roommate's practical joke, bookish college student Joanna Halbert finds herself signed up with a Malibu-based escort service which promises her big money and an easy ride. Instead, she becomes entangled in a web of corruption, sleaze, and violence.

Without a doubt, the biggest question at hand is: Which of Tori Spelling's high-class hooker outfits (each clearly intended to be the pinnacle of sensual glamour) was my favourite? The white gown with cut-outs and matching pashmina? The turquoise cheongsam, accessorised with a hair bun and chopsticks (I'm guessing this was supposed to be a "geisha" look)? Or is it the black patent raincoat over a lace corset and garter belt? All topped off with a peroxide bob, brown lipstick and razor thin eyebrows, of course. Co-ed Call Girl is like a catalogue of truly dreadful mid-90s style. Ahhh, Lifetime.
I've seen a few Tori Spelling made-for-TV movies from the 90s before and they were, to varying degrees, entertaining. This one is just a mess. Some points for being unintentionally funny, but still not so much fun. I do like that one really stigmatizes her for being a call girl, they only judge her a little when they think she murdered someone.
Exploitation of sex-workers is no laughing matter, though while watching Co-ed Call Girl you could be forgiven for thinking otherwise. The sax solos during every sex scene; Tori Spelling modelling the Anna Williams Eveningwear Collection and performing sensual floorshows for angry concert pianists; a court scene that makes the one in Pink Flamingoes look realistic. Easy, breezy, beautiful. Lifetime.
Whoever designed Tori Spelling's wardrobe in this probably watched Showgirls and was like "wow what classy outfits!"
Co-ed Call Girl is standard Lifetime fare made significantly more entertaining by the insane fashion choices, Tori Spelling's bleach damaged hair looking like it would crumble into dust if you tried brushing it and the inclusion of Jeri Ryan as an evil high class call girl.
Classic mid-90’s peroxide Tori Spelling
So many classy boutique fashions in this Lifetime movie portraying one “book-smart” co-ed getting involved in high end sex-work
Love that the name of her mom’s business was “Backdoor Bakery”!! Lol
This wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be. But it wasn't particularly good either. Tori gets roped into the world of high-class sex work. She likes the way it makes her feel wanted. She has a good relationship with her pimp and a boyfriend her loves her. Surely, she'll be able to keep up with this double life, no?
No.
It all goes south as Tori's hair slowly devolves into a peroxide nightmare culminating in a ridiculous trial with the world's worst district attorney.
