Plots(1)
In this irreverent comedy, awkward teenager Tobe (Dustin Ingram) sets off on a road trip to meet Monica Velour (Kim Cattrall), his favorite '80s porn star, at a rare live appearance hundreds of miles away. Instead of the glamorous sexpot portrayed on film, he finds a 49-year-old single mom living in a trailer in rural Indiana, performing at seedy strip clubs to make ends meet. A starry-eyed Tobe, still captivated by his crush, befriends Monica, further complicating her difficult life. Kim Cattrall gives a career-defining performance in this offbeat love story that appeals to the dreamer - and the nerd - in all of us. (official distributor synopsis)

Quite an unorthodox story about a faded porn star, who in the story hides a nerdy guy with glasses, for whom Monica Velour is and will be a star even at the age of one hundred, and a couple of absolutely great shots from earlier porn films. In other words, a parody of everything possible, at which one simply must laugh from beginning to end. For example, the parody of Star Wars is flawless. But that's the main thing that the film really manages to impress with. The, at first glance, quite unorthodox story, actually has a completely classic structure, so towards the end it becomes rather boring.

This is a story about each of us. I'm not as far along with Stacy Valentine as the main character is with Monica Velour, but I wouldn't mind. The only trouble is that Kim Cattrall is old enough to have worked with Belmondo, so the gap between her and Dustin Ingram is endless.
