This review is from: Allie and Me (DVD)
So glad this film is finally getting a release. I had seen it at a festival some two years ago. Fantastic performances by Joanne Baron and most surprisingly of all Harry Hamlin (who I've never been a big fan of). Also, has Lainie Kazan of My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Beaches fame. An improv film that doesn't feel like its improved. If you like Christopher Guest type comedies you'll love this film.

INFO..., September 6, 2007
This review is from: Allie and Me (DVD)
Allie is no beauty. She's also a little slow, gullible and obsessive. But she is a kind beautician in a ritzy salon run by the supportive Karen. Allie dreams of owning her own business but sadly she is not exactly on the fast track to success. Vengeful housewife Michelle has developed a bad attitude after catching her husband in bed with her best friend. Michelle and Allie team up, taking out their frustrations in a covert campaign of mischief and larceny, bonding through thievery and housebreaking. When they take hostage in his very own mansion, a young, rich, good-looking Beverly Hills stud, Allie falls in love fast. As she tries to "convince" her victim to love her back, their troubles can only go from wild to even wilder.
