Jane White Is Sick & Twisted

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.

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 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.

Plain and simply, Jane White is Sick and Twisted is a funny satired B-movie with some of the best acting I've seen in a while, and great writing and directing on the part of David Latt.

I didn't see Jane White for educational purposed, but surprisingly learned a couple things about myself and the world's over-obsession with televison. Although it's all in good fun, it's satire done right, and it makes you think.

Kim Little is great as Jane White, the girl who thinks life is like TV and her dad is the host of the Jerry Show. She has the innocence to pull off the naive character. Wil Wheaton too has a school-boy innocence that makes him the perfect choice to play Dick Smith, Jane's romantic interest. More than once I felt like shooting Dick for his sappy Hallmark language, and I'm pretty sure this is the reaction wanted by David Latt. Alley Mills (the mom from Wonder Years) shows a completely different 'mom' side, as Jane's mother who's afraid to go outside. Chris Hardwick's character Burger is totally unneeded for the plot, but his accent and teeth bring in big laughs. The most memorable performance was Colin Mochrie's, the married man picking up closet transvestite prostitutes.

In summary, this is a movie that is guaranteed to make you laugh. Rent it. Buy it. Do whatever you need to do, just make sure you see it.

After seeing JWIS&T at the Phoenix Film Festival, I wasn't quite sure whether or not I liked the movie. It was soooooooooooo OVER-THE_TOP and STRANGE! But my stomach musles were sore from laughing so much. I guess it accomplished its goal. It made me laugh. A LOT! Jane White is SO FAR over the top that it makes Ace Ventura and Scary Movie look like Ghandhi in comparison. JWIS&T is full of memorable characters from Kim Little's Jane White herself to Chris Hardwick's trailer trash shirt sporting neighbor to Colin Mochrie's not-so-gay male-fetish guru. If the movie itself isn't funny enough, the outtakes during the credits are the funniest I've EVER seen. Will Jane White ever win an oscar? Not a Chance! But neither will Austin Power 1 - 2 or 3! This one hellava FUNNY MOVIE!
