Mink Stole and a poodle take you on a wild desert ride
Madcap romp led by a game crew of off-the-charts fabulous character actors (Mink Stole, John Fleck, Reno) -- plus a fluffy white dog! The dialog is as fast as the hairpin plot twists. If you're a sucker for the screwball comedies of the 30s and the sideways slant of the Factory, you'll love this kooky gem.
Aims for camp, but just a muddled mess.
Sebastian (Andy Fitzgerald) is a gay man who works for an eccentric lesbian (Mink Stole) as a translator of dead romance languages. He lives with Ida, a straight, agoraphobic nudist (Amy Miles) who, like Sebastian, is unlucky in love, but she also faces the loss of her home ... to a dog ... if she does not find a husband. She does have an online crush on Hippo, a foreigner she believes may be involved with the Flemish Mafia. To safeguard Ida's home, Sebastian is willing to marry her, but then meets reclusive Stone, an artist whose presence in his life seems promising. Got all that?
Producer/Director/Screenwriter Kevin Duffy spins a deliciously over-the-top yet unnecessarily complex story, which unfortunately misses its target of being "campy" and ventures into being a muddled mess that few will attempt to follow. Some early sound issues, but otherwise technically good, despite its low budget. Can't really fault any of the actors, considering what they had to work with;...
Cute!
Funny and cute. But again, what a waste of my membership! Will be getting rid of it on May 2nd. Thankfully!
