Starlet 2012

Starlet     Jane is 21 years old, she lives with her roommate, Melissa, in a San Fernando CA apartment.  Jane has a very cute Chihuahua boy named Starlet, she picked out the name before she adopted the dog and still used it even though he's a boy dog.  She wants to fix up her room and her roommate suggests she go to garage sales instead of buying new things.  Jane goes to Sadie’s house and buys a thermos from the 85 year old to use as a flower vase.  When she washes out the thermos, she finds rolls of 100-dollar bills inside!!  She tries to talk to Sadie about the purchase but she says, “I told you there were no refunds,” and slams the door. 
     The best actor in this film is Starlet, so cute and always taking a nap.  Sadie is a real curmudgeon and she does nothing to make herself at all sweet.  Jane has the roommate from hell!!  This is very slow paced and has very little action.  A lot of times you will want to turn this off and I cannot promise you will find this worth watching.  3* (This movie is OK)

103 min, Drama directed by Sean Baker with Dree Heminway, Boonee, Besedka Johnson, Stella Maeve, James Ransone, Karren Karagulian.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 ½*, imdb 6.4 out of 10, 88% critic 70% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
Special Note:  This is the first film for Besedka Johnson and she was discovered at a West Hollywood YMCA.  Dree is the daughter of Mariel Hemingway.
