Jane White Is Sick & Twisted

I saw this movie at a screening in L.A. that a friend invited me to and the movie feels like a Saturday Night Live movie done right. The cast is great especially the kid from Star Trek (who knew he was funny?), the guy from Who's Line... as much fun as you would expect and everyone else is recognizable and great. Although, I hadn't seen the woman who played Jane White before she was just teriffic, amazingly funny and twisted. There were some really funny moments mocking TV and our obsession with it. I don't know when it's coming out but, if you get a chance see this movie!

I am a fan of terrible movies. I love horrible films. Somehow, I think this film was made to appeal my type of person. Did it? No. The main character plays a girl that is not sick or twisted, rather mentally retarded and useless.

As the movie description says, Jane White tries everything possible to be on the Gerry Show (Jerry Springer show except with Laverine & Shirley's Squiggy). She believes that Gerry is her father, so the film documents her journey from cheap set to cheap sound stage set. Some of the cast you might lose respect for after seeing this.

Sadly, other than the bright orange tights that Jane wears, there was nothing in this film to enjoy. For those who could careless about bright orange tights, then there is nothing for them to enjoy.

I guess I'm just not an "indie" kind of guy. I went into this movie thinking I would love it. I'd heard (mostly on the internet) that it was really funny.

I almost laughed a couple of times but never quite made it.

I wanted to see this movie for Danica McKellar ever since I saw a photo of her character. She has done a bunch of small stuff recently, but none of it's on DVD.

Anyway, she only had about 2 minutes screen time (counting the bonus stuff), but it was worth it. "Winnie" she is not, here.

Her character appears on a Jerry Springer show equivalent as a gum-smacking, stretch-pant wearing, sexually starved wife of a black man who thinks he's the son of God. He then proceeds to french kiss Maureen McCormick's character, who is wearing a plastic bird on her head.

Alley Mills was a welcome addition as the alcoholic, smoking mother. Again, not "Norma Arnold" at all. She had a good sized role and was great.

The movie is definitely "out there". I'm not one for goofiness or silliness, but this made me laugh a bit, regardless.

Worth renting at least - and buying of you are a fan of Kim Little, Wil Weaton, or even Alley Mills. Lots of other TV people in supporting roles.

This film is absolutely hilarious, and deliciously twisted. If you like TV you will love this film. I was falling out of my seat laughing! The entire cast is spectacular and the story is insane. Check out the official web site and find a screening near you if you get the chance. You will not be disappointed.
