I caught this hilarious film at the East Lansing Film Festival and it was my favorite of the festival.
The very vivacious Dee Dee frequently goes on wild adventures, living her life to fullest. But when her millionaire father can no longer handle her crazy antics he cuts her off from his fortune. Forced to manage for herself, Dee Dee still manages to be her same spirited self.
This movie is always entertaining. When the first scene started I laughed out loud and as the rest of the movie played the laughter never stopped. Lisa Ann Walter is perfectly cast as the title character. All of her lines are hilariously delivered, it's impossible not to love her. Mason Gamble is also wonderful as Christopher, Dee Dee's gay son who hesitantly accompanies her on the many escapades. Along with Dee Dee and Christopher, the family helper Yugo, also hilariously played by J.P. Manoux, joins the two as well. And Kurtwood Smith does a marvelous job as William Rutherford, Dee Dee's father, it really is a nice performance that helps make the film work.
What I love about the film is how charming and amusing it is. There are so many little touches throughout the film, it's fun to spot all the small jokes while huge jokes are taking place. And the film flows so nicely, though the story has been told before, the characters are so well written and they all have such great qualities, it's a different experience.
Written and directed by Meiners, it's a lovely film that everyone will enjoy. It's the hunt and the kill baby and I'm glad I hunted down this film.
