The Center of the World is an American film directed by Wayne Wang, digitally shot, released in 2001. It stars Peter Sarsgaard as a Dot-com millionaire who hires a drummer/stripper (Molly Parker) to stay with him in Las Vegas for three days for US$10,000.

Internet executive Jason Calacanis consulted on, and appeared in, the film.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

After seeing her at a club, the dot-com millionaire makes his proposal to the stripper. She writes a contract beforehand detailing the conditions of her stay, including: no talking about feelings, no kissing and no penetration.

The film opened to mixed reviews, and has been compared to movies with similar "hooker in love" storylines such as Exotica and Pretty Woman. The Center of the World is more explicit than said films, containing both female and male full frontal nudity.
