A young woman takes her obsession with Brit-pop's crown prince of mope a little too far in this independently produced comedy. Jackie (Jackie B) is a morose young woman with a dead-end TV job and an all-involving pastime: worshipping Morrissey. Her apartment is a shrine, and most of her time outside of it is spent trolling local record stores for out-of-print Smiths LPs and other memorabilia, for which she has a uniquely physical fetish. It isn't long before she moves on to actually stalking the celebrity, showing up uninvited at The Moz's favorite L.A. eateries and clubs. When she snags his leftovers at a local diner, however, Morrissey himself (Jose Maldonado) happens to notice, offering to give the poor girl a ride home. Too paralyzed with fear to actually speak to her beloved, Jackie returns to her life of obsession-from-afar, but with a new twist: she's convinced that she and Morrissey are a couple. As her friends and co-workers try to talk her out of her delusion, she only grows more and more certain that she'll indeed be spending the rest of her life with Morrissey. Screened at festivals in 2003, My Life With Morrissey was written and directed by Andrew Overtoom, who achieved success as a director on the infinitely popular animated series SpongeBob SquarePants. ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide

I've always wanted to open a movie review with "I WANTED to like this film!!", and since this is my first review, let's just get that shit out of the way.
I'm not a morrissey or smiths fan, BUT! A movie with this premise and a solid flow and acting would make that fact insignificant. It had neither, I just couldn't make it though this film. One certainly has to give a comedy some slack and suspension of judgment, but... oh i dunno, maybe you might like it if you're into EXTREEEEEEEEME characterizations and totally over the top goofiness, kind of like a bunch of bad jim carrys. And it's certainly probably the bee's knees to smiths and morrissey fans and hey i love you guys and all but...I mean, don't get me wrong I'm as huge a fan of the Minister of Funny Walks as anyone mmkay so it's not exactly that either.
I... I just couldn't take the bald guy pushing the office cart around making funny faces anymore. No patience at all. Back to my book. |

I have to admit this movie wasn't anything close to what I expected from the producer of Spongebob Squarepants.
This was an obvious low budget film; it looked more like a made for TV movie or an afterschool special. I thought it was hilarious that the Nickelodean studios on Sunset Blvd was used as a set (it was a kick to see Hey Arnold the jellyfish from Spongebob in Jackie's workplace). I'm sure Mr. Overtoom cast a lot of his coworkers since there was a lack of good acting.
Even though this movie was cheesy, cheaply made, and off the wall I still enjoyed watching it. I was amuzed by watching Jackie gradually get crazier throughout the movie, especially seeing her hump her Moz blow up doll...CLASSIC!
I highly recommend this movie to those who enjoy John Waters and Moz. |
