I'm an individual with above average intelligence. I love watching all kinds of movies. I especially love viewing & the whole ambiance in a old movie theatre. I love they're construction and design which showed some artistry, flair and elegance.
I also possess the inate ability to walk out of said theatre if I didn't like the movie I was watching ...No harm, No foul. I also possess the ability to operate channel selector & power switch on my television set, to either change the channel to another or switch it off completely when the view no longer interests me. It simply astounds me of how many IMDB members here lack/lacked ability just to perform these 2 viable options. I've perused through this plethora of "hostle" postings and I have found they have availed themselves of neither. This is evidenced by hosts of "My way or the highway" attitudes adopted by many members and unjustly affixed this attitude in response.
Movies & filmaking is an art form and like any other form of art it's subject to criticism... Say You liked it or You didn't like it and always state Why You liked or disliked it? Leave the ratings to a professional who would be absent of malice & moral judgement when they critic a piece.
NOTE to any mindless drones in here: Don't waste your time or mine, trying to change my point of view of what I saw or how I interpreted what I saw? I have my own brain and will use it as I see fit. Thank you!

Life on Top (2009)
How a 22 yr old brainiac & a Penthouse Pet make it in NYC
Based on the book by Clara Darling, LIFE ON TOP is a fascinating look at two yuppie sisters with different plans as to how to make it in Manhattan. The older sibling uses her model perfect body and sex in the city while the newbie plans on her business degree and brains to achieve her goal. The latter modifies her plan midstream to become a gambler, then former becomes a photographer by the end of Season 1. Such are the problems faced as the two try to succeed in the shifting of gears. I personally found Season 1 intriguing but it fizzled out by Season 2 with a sudden departure of one of the main characters.
Sophie Steele, a super brainy twenty-two and fresh out of business school, thinks she has it all: beauty, an MBA, and a high-powered job at a hedge fund in NYC. But Sophie's about to uncover a whole new life – a life filled with beautiful people, exclusive parties, and tantalizingly hot sex – when she moves into her older sister Bella's fabulous Tribeca penthouse apartment. Bella enjoys being a Penthouse Pet, she enjoys photography and especially the those fantasies inspired by it. Bella knows her younger sister will learn the truth about her secret life but is not ashamed as she enjoys sexual indulgences. However Bella looks forward to mentoring the new college grad plus other newbies until she receives a shocker that matches that of her sister.
The show actually is fairly loyal to the book but changes a bit to set up its four central characters (shades of Sex in the City) in a way that to me is better than how things worked in the book. The show's first season is fairly loyal and the very first episode will look familiar to those book readers. Bothportrayals include an actual storyline amongst the sex, so be prepared to see both as the storyline may take many episodes to gel but indulgent nudity and sex does not. It's a story about human beings that have sex ...and lots of it ...in fact one character is a Penthouse Pet, so she is visibly nude most of the time. So viewers might enjoy this somewhat over the top slice of making it in New York as a Penthouse Pet or just a newbie to the world of high finance in a man's world.
