Bad Actress

2011 · 87 min

A wickedly funny, cynical ride through fame and family dysfunction, with a body count that keeps you grinning.

Tagline: She's not bad. She just acts that way.
Overview: Alyssa Rampart Pillage is a washed up TV queen whose career has been reduced to starring in commercials for her husband Bernie’s appliance empire. When their tree hugging daughter Topanga dies in a tragic golf ball accident, Bernie goes off the spiritual deep end and tries to give away their fortune with disastrous results. But what starts off as tragedy quickly turns into career re-invention for Alyssa. And as the body counts rises, so does her star.
How it feels: Dark, satirical, absurd and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Celebrity, media, greed, family
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
