4.0 out of 5 stars Twisted Fun, April 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Jane White Is Sick and Twisted (DVD)

Jane White is Sick & Twisted is a treat to anyone who considers themselves a "real" film buff (ie, probably NOT for everyone)! It's the kind of comedy that lets you in on the joke and winks at you from time to time. Wil Wheaton (Stand By Me) is funnier here than Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler's last few performances put together! It's great fun to spot ALL the cameos : Squiggy, Screech, Marsha Brady, the chicks from The Wonder Years, etc. Get twisted and see this movie!

4.0 out of 5 stars From DVDTalk.com, May 15, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Jane White Is Sick and Twisted (DVD)

A cult classic in the making, Jane White is Sick and Twisted stars Kim Little (Diagnosis: Murder) as a television-obsessed shut-in who's convinced herself that she's the daughter of controversial talk show host Gerry King (David Lander; Laverne & Shirley). Jane dreams of one day reuniting with her estranged pop, penning love letters to serial killers and taking a part-time gig as a tranvestite prostitute in the hopes of earning an appearance on his show. Throughout her trek to Chicago, Jane encounters the intoxication of romance, the dizzying disappointment of heartbreak, she-males, sex power-imbuing aliens, serial killers, and a gaggle of familiar faces.

Supplements: Jane White is Sick and Twisted is a pretty loaded special edition releases, and its mountain of extras begins with an audio commentary. Director David Michael Latt, Kim Little, and Chris Hardwick keep a constant flow of discussion going, and it's equal parts informative and entertaining. Hardwick, as was also the case with the movie, provides most of the laughs, such as when he offers tips on how to get Bijou Phillips to sleep with you. As much as he interrupts David Latt early into the commentary, Hardwick takes on almost a moderator role later on, lobbing a number of questions and prompting discussion. Viewers with an interest in low-budget filmmaking ought to enjoy this commentary, which tackles how the cast became attached to the project, overcoming budget hurdles, and how pink poster board and a tarantula can add some flavor to a long scene with no coverage. It's mentioned several times what an intrusive pain in the [behind] managers and agents can be. For instance, Richard Klein's agent insisted that the actor would never stoop to the level of a project like Jane White, especially for such a piddling amount of money, only to find out that his scenes had already been shot a couple of weeks earlier. Whoops. There are a bunch of the usual funny production tales, such as a guest at a hotel mistaking Dustin Diamond in drag for an employee, which almost got the production booted from the location. One of the best commentaries I've listened to in months.

Conclusion: Like most "love it or hate it" comedies, Jane White is Sick and Twisted is probably best suited to a rental rather than blindly shelling out twenty bucks. Television nuts and viewers with an interest in off-kilter, independent comedies are likely to get a kick out of the movie, and there are enough extras on its DVD release to keep 'em occupied for the better part of an evening. Recommended.

This review is from: Jane White Is Sick and Twisted (DVD)

Jane White Is Sick and Twisted has just hit the video stores and rental palaces. A film that already has a cult following, it was not easily found in theaters. Those who did wander across it and stayed to watch realized that this is a truly subversive gem. It has, as they always say, a star-studded cast. Well, they were stars at one time or another and mostly on television in many cases, but they are all recognizable faces and names for avid viewers That's probably appropriate since this film ponders what a life completely shaped by television might be like. Who can resist seeing a great many familiar faces like Maureen McCormick and Wil Wheaton act themselves into a corner from which their careers may never recover. Just kidding but it is a hoot to watch though since none of the characters are anywhere near sane in Jane's world. ....
