Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and fans of sharp satire, this one's for you. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. If you loved Help!, start here. The jokes have targets, and it hits most of them.
- The mood
- Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 20 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
The Lovedolls return from their untimely demise in this 1986 sequel to "Desperate Teenage Lovedolls". Patch Kelley (Janet Housden) becomes Patch Christ, the leader of an acid-damaged religious cult who rescues has been Kitty Karryall from a boozy, wasted life. Rocking by Redd Kross, Sonic Youth, Meat Puppets, Dead Kennedys, & more! You can't kill a Lovedoll, babe... because Superstars never die!
