Just One of the Guys (1985)
Victor/Victoria meets the 80's with fantabulous results!
Oh my gosh, this movie is probably in my top 10 movies of all time. Greatest and most amusing 80's movie there is. I have seen this movie at least 1000 times and I never get bored. Joyce Hyser totally rocks as Terri and Billy Jacoby is equally as brilliant. The best thing about this flick is that the cast if full of funny, talented and unfamous faces, much more interesting than seeing the brat pack.
The thrill of my life is when I run into some of the actors from this film, which does happen (living in Hollywood) they always look scared when I start reciting their lines for them. I would definitely recommend this film to anyone with a sense of humor, it has everything a good eighties movie should have...locker room scenes, fake drunkedness, leather mini skirts, a prom and the obligatory boob shot. JUST ONE OF THE GUYS ROCKS!
Daydream Believer (2001)
Whimsical story of aspiring actress and her big move to NYC
I originally stumbled upon this movie after I was home sick, channel surfing. As an actress, it caught my attention. As a human, it struck me as thoughtful, poignant and extremely funny.
The best thing about this film was it's devotion to harsh and real looking reality. I loved it that Valerie (the main character) had bushy eyebrows, pimples and bad hair for much of the film. Hello...most girls look like that. Her confusion and perseverence was really sweet. I took a real liking to the characters and was very impressed by the quality of the story and actors, considering the extremely low budget. I am going to show a copy of it to my other actor friends, knowing they will get just as much a kick out of it.
It's really a shame the more movies today don't have the heart of this film. It's a movie I will remember for while because it felt so real.
