At sometime in your life you've either met, wished to have met, been or wish to have been Monica Velour, a film which captures life's beautiful tragedy, beautifully.Perhaps you know a Monica and maybe you're a Tobe but have heart, it'll all work out fine in the end.
So here i am wandering through my local video store looking for something good to watch and i stumble across Meet Monica Velour, judging from the cover and the description on the back i was expecting the usual silly sex comedy, boy was i wrong.Meet Monica Velour is exceptional, at times hilarious, at times awkward, at times heartbreaking.
Even with a surprisingly strong performance from Kim Cattrall (Sex and the City, Mannequin, The Ghost Writer) as the titular character, it isn't worth meeting Monica Velour. The film is too clichéd to be any good and with a Napoleon Dynamite-ish protagonist (Dustin Ingram - Sky High) parts of it are downright bad.
