Meet Monica Velour (2010)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Keith Bearden
Cast: Kim Cattrall, Dustin Ingram, Brian Dennehy
Running Time: 98 minutes



Tobe Hulbert is a 17-year old nerd who travels to Indiana to sell his hot dog food truck to a collector and to see his idol, former porn star Monica Velour, who is set to perform in a strip club. Monica might be the woman of Tobe’s dreams, but her life is a living nightmare, with a career in a dead end, a messy divorce and a custody battle that she is not favored to win.

I did not quite know what to expect with this one, but I was pleasantly surprised. It is a charming coming-of-age independent comedy. Cattrall is very good as washed-up porn star Monica Velour. Dustin Ingram was a bit cartoonish as the nerdy Tobe, but he still made it believable. It was also a nice treat to see Brian Dennehy, as the weird grandfather.
