Well, folks, he's done it again! Ted Copper's latest movie is even weirder than the last.
Talking to Girls tries to sell itself as a cut-and-dry rom-com, but the viewer is advised to beware. The plot is dizzying, the dialogue is stupid, and parts of it are so graphic they'd make Sherman Alexie blush.
Miranda Abrons delivers a smashing performance as Laquisha, the tough town girl fighting to survive the idiocies of men, and she shines all the brighter for appearing beside Jenna Ormund, who appears lackluster and cringe-worthy in even her most passionate scenes.
Speaking of passionate scenes, Copper delivers these in spades. There are five- count them, five- gratuitous sex scenes in
TTG, and each more uncomfortable and bizarre than the last. Ted's obsession with BDSM goes further in this one, startling the unwary observer and forcing the audience to explore the dark secrets of every character.
And what secrets they are! Plot twist after plot twist until you feel sick to your stomach and earn for a straightaway. Kianna Rainbow is a leering seductress who makes "Free Love" seem more like an oppressive cult than a open lifestyle, and she is shadowed by James P. Stolon, who for some reason doesn't have a single line in the entire movie.
And did we mention time travel? Well, we have now. Yes, there is time travel. Peter Tender, who is ostensibly the hero of this picture, time travels. And he gets some shirtless scenes, too, so some of you might find that enough of a reason to watch this indescribably weird movie.
If you really can't stand it, we at SNITCH! don't blame you. Go watch "
The Claw and The Bodice" instead. At least those skin scenes are plausible.
