      The dialog includes many nods to Tenuta's standup routines, including: a reference to the Pope and his Swiss Guards, her imitation of singer/actress Barbra Streisand, and the catch phrase "It could happen!".

    You bet we're desperate!

    Funny 'lil flicker 'bout an ex-child star trying to get back on top. Very good performance by Judy Tenuta and hilarious cameos by Emo(The original Mr. Funny) Philips and Emmy(The Volcano!)Collins.
