Jane White is obsessed with television, especially the "Gerry Show" (a rip from Jerry Springer). She believes that Gerry is her father and the only way she can meet him is to use the next episode's theme (ie: a closeted transvestite prostitute) to be a guest. The movie had me laughing at loud so bad that I would have been embarrassed if I was the only one laughing. Luckily, most of the people around me were too. I say "most" because this movie may not be your cup of tea. If you enjoy ridiculous spoofing, then you'll love this one. Plus, you'll be amazed at the number of television actors that were cast, including Dustin Diamond, Winnie from "The Wonder Years," and Chris Hardwick from "Singled Out." I saw it at the Texas Film Festival and thought it was very good. It doesn't look like your typical million-dollar blockbuster, but that's what gives it its charm. "It's a Jane White Show."

This is a fantastic comedic film with interesting plot twists. The story involves misperceptions of people that can go awry when mixed with the right situation. Besides the notable contributions of "Louie" Anderson, Danny Nucci ("Titanic"), Colin Mochrie ("Who's Line is it Anyways?"), and several other celebrity faces, the story is led by two best friends, played by Shane Edelman and Adam Baratta. Adam actually wrote and directed the film as well as star. It's a solid film that is enjoyable for a wide range of age groups. While the main characters seem to fit the "teenage movie demographic," the film doesn't require the bathroom humor used in "American Pie" or "Scary Movie" to keep you laughing and interested in the story. A clever script as well as the fact that the cost was so low to create it ($325,000) make this a film to see.
