Former child star Joe Davis, reduced to living in a cheap Hollywood motel while struggling for acting jobs, is lusted after by nearly every woman he meets, including Jessica Todd, a tightly wound feminist who has recently come out as a lesbian. When Jessica's mother, Sally, an emotionally needy has-been actress, meets Joe, she moves him into her enormous, tacky mansion as her new boy toy and attempts to get him acting work.
VIBE
A darkly comedic and surprisingly poignant look at Hollywood's fading stars and the desperate pursuit of relevance. It's a campy, yet sharp, exploration of desire and identity against a backdrop of sun-drenched, yet hollow, glamour.
