Trivia
For her somewhat downbeat role, Kim Cattrall wore no makeup and left her hair just as it was when she got up each morning during the shoot. She also gained 20 pounds to play Monica Velour. During filming, she would often go to local bars to eat and drink.

Goofs
In some scenes, the leaves are changing color since this was filmed in mid-October in Michigan and the movie takes place during the summer.

Quotes
Monica Velour: Swear to God, you screw a few hundred men and the whole world turns against you.

Charming comedy...

Wow, who knew? "Meet Monica Velour" turned out to be a rather unique and charming comedy unlike most other teenage comedies. And while it may not be the type of comedy that will have you laughing your heart out, it is the type of movie that sinks right into the heart and sticks with you.

The story is about 17 year old Tobe Hobert (played by Dustin Ingram), an awkward teenager who travels across USA in an old hot dog vendor van to see a rare performance by Monica Velour (played by Kim Cattrall), his favorite porn star from the 1980s. An odd friendship blossoms between the smitten teenager and the struggling former porn actress.

It is the odd and unique storyline that makes "Meet Monica Velour" such an enjoyable movie, and the permeated sense of real life as well. But also the amazing performances by Dustin Ingram and Kim Cattrall.

"Meet Monica Velour" was really a surprise of a movie, and I was genuinely entertained by the story and performances.

If you haven't seen this fabulous movie, then you should really take yourself an hour and a half to watch "Meet Monica Velour". This movie scores a rock-solid seven out of ten stars from me.
