Jane White Is Sick & Twisted

2002 · 93 min

A chaotic, quirky road trip that feels like flipping through absurd TV channels, with eccentric characters and a loopy romance.

Tagline: Who said that there's nothing good on tv?
Overview: For Jane White, life itself is a television program, and she dreams of becoming a star on the small screen. Convincing herself that Gerry King, a popular talk show host, is her birth father, she sets out on an adventurous road trip — aided by her equally looney boyfriend, Dick — to confront her "father" on the air, and, just maybe, make a splash on reality television.
How it feels: Absurd, whimsical, satirical and dark. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Identity, obsession, family, love
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
