Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Danii Disaster Wow, I was surprised to see such a strong performance by Kim Cattrall. She has proved herself to be a talented and versatile actress; not a shadow of Sex and the City's Samantha Jones here - she totally owned the role of Monica. I'm surprised she isn't getting more work; I'd love to see more of her in serious roles.This is much better than I can say for her Sex and the City co-star Sarah Jessica Parker, who isn't capable of portraying anyone other than Carrie Bradshaw, and all the movies she has done were rubbish, yet somehow she gets more recognition. That's so lame.Spoilers: I was hoping for a happy ending... INVOLVING Monica, but all we get to see is Tobe getting together with the chubby girl. I guess there was no other way to end the movie that would be reasonable, but I was still a little disappointed. It is implied that Monica does well with the 5 grand Tobe gives her and with getting her kid back, but still, it would have been better to actually SEE it.End of spoilers.Despite the slightly disappointing ending, the movie was great altogether. A serious and thoughtful movie that's funny in all the right places. Massively underrated. A must-see for drama-lovers.

FiveHundredFlicks At sometime in your life you've either met, wished to have met, been or wish to have been Monica Velour, a film which captures life's beautiful tragedy, beautifully.Perhaps you know a Monica and maybe you're a Tobe but have heart, it'll all work out fine in the end.If you don't recognise any part of yourself in this excellent film then chances are, eventually, you will. Either that or you're incapable of recognising Bathos, Pathos or any other of "life's Musketeers"Kim Cattrall is still hot, more so without all the SITC polish but special thanks must go to Brian Dennehy for certain .. aspects ..of his performance. In between poking out my mind's eye with an imaginary fork, I'm reaching for the eye bleach. Thanks, Brian....9/10 Monica Velour is an instant classic.

Tony Heck "Why can't you like normal stuff like everybody else?" Toby is a nerd. He likes things no one else does like 1920's music, but his favorite thing of all is former adult film star Monica Velour (Cattrall). After his Grandfather (Dennehy) insults him one too many times Toby decides to leave, and meets Monica. This is the type of movie that when you watch you like it, but when its over and you look back on it you start to like it more and more. I snickered a few times watching, but when I remember the lines and context I laugh harder. This movie is a surprisingly sweet coming of age tale about a boy on his way up and a woman on her way down. I have a bad habit of, for lack of a better word, over-simplifying a review by comparing it to movies people have heard of. That said...this movie is a cross between "Napolean Dynamite" and "Boogie Nights". If Napolean met the Julianna Moore character from "Boogie Nights" you would have this movie. I will have to say the Kim Cattrall is the perfect choice for this movie and while not being the total opposite of Samantha she is more of a burnt out version of that character. I would love to see at least a Golden Globe nomination for her for this, but I doubt that will happen. Overall, a good movie that will grow on you. I give it a B Would I watch again? - I think I might*Also try - Elektra Luxx

jilllitwin Kim Cattrall flexes her acting muscles in a whole new direction with much success in this surprisingly original film expertly written and directed by Keith Bearden. Dustin Ingram is the ideal combination of nerd and charm as Tobe Holbert, while Brian Dennehy is fun as Tobe's father (aka "Pop Pop"). Keith David provides a breath of fresh air from all the quirkiness as Claude, an amiable and wise character. I saw this at an opening in Chicago which was attended by Dustin Ingram and included a Skyped interview with Keith Bearden post-showing. I was delighted to find that Bearden is just as much of a cool character in real life as the ones he created for the screen, while Ingram maintains a genuine sweetness and vulnerability. Meet Monica Velour is definitely a well spent 98 minutes.
