Product Description
This latest fabulous movie from Jamie (But I m a Cheerleader) Babbit is a dynamic, romantic, frequently funny and politically astute movie with a smart script, rockin soundtrack and terrific ensemble cast that includes sexy young Melonie Diaz as the new dyke on the block who falls in with a great gang of Feminist troublemakers called Clits in Action (CiA), and then falls in love with leader of the pack, Nicole Vicius. Unfortunately, Nicole has a girlfriend Melanie Mayron and, as they say, drama ensues. With Carly Pope, Daniela Sea, Guinevere Turner, Deak Eugenikos, Jenny Shimizu and Lauren Mollica.
Itty Bitty Titty Committee, the third film from Jamie Babbit, director of the 1999 cult comedy But I'm a Cheerleader, focuses on a group of radical young feminists experiencing both political and sexual awakenings. With a riot-grrrl heavy soundtrack (there's so much Kathleen Hannah she should be listed in the credits) and an unabashed message about the degradation of women in the media, Itty Bitty Titty Committee strives to be a very powerful and moving film. It doesn't quite make it. Despite the somewhat lackluster plot, the cast has a great time with the material and clearly enjoy these characters. Standouts are Dirt's Carly Pope, as the "leader" of the group complete with '70s era Gloria Steinem glasses, and especially Melonie Diaz (Be Kind Rewind and Hamlet 2) as Anna, a young lesbian whose life is most altered by the Guerrilla Girls-style group. Overall the message is just a little too heavy-handed and the climax too silly to really make you feel inspired, but the movie does succeed as a fun and sexy coming-of-age story. --Kira Canny
