9/10
LIZZIE BORDEN'S FLYING CIRCUS
9 June 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This is an over the top comedy that makes "Sex in the City" look like it is for sissies. There isn't much plot in this film. Dee Dee (Anne Heche) is a foul mouthed hip New Yorker who has learned to survive the city in her own unique way. Her BFF is the rather Rubenesque Bebe (Marcia DeBonis). They meet Clementine (Alia Shawkat) at a coffee shop for the first time. She has her own problems. All three women have various issues with their boyfriends, "Tom, Dick, and Harry," names that fit the theme that all men are the same and A-holes.

The action and language is over the top. The dialogue is quick and witty. I had a number of favorite lines:

"Article 265 of the Penal Code" "Not the kind with fruit" "Mercury is in retrograde." "Dry humped on the restroom floor by a guy who fought in the Civil War." and " Please don't fight you guys, I'm getting carpel tunnel."

The film contains sex talk, descriptions, and heavy cursing. It is very adult theme. You can't help but love Anne Heche as a likable street savvy bad girl in this film.

Parental Guide: Heavy use of F-bombs. Brief sex and nudity. Would make for a good HBO series.
