先引一段外网影评，大家可以忽视掉~
“Meet Monica Velour” has all the makings of a '80s teen-sex romp -- a crazy car, some wacky characters, a road trip and a geeky virgin tracking down the porn star of his fantasies. Throw in some Wayfarers, a Simple Minds soundtrack and it’s ready for heavy rotation on Cinemax, circa 1984. But what director Keith Bearden has delivered with his first feature is sure to be a favorite at Tribeca.
Unbearably introverted and dorky, 17-year-old Tobe (Dustin Ingram) is a young man born in the wrong time. He’s a fan of '30s music, '70s movies and '80s soft-core porn – specifically the films of that era’s greatest star, Monica Velour (Kim Cattrall). When Tobe learns she is appearing at a strip club in Indiana he seizes the opportunity to meet the deity of his desires.
Driving the weinermobile (think ice-cream truck with a giant hot-dog on top) his grandfather (Brian Dennehy) bequeathed to him as a graduation present, Tobe sets out on an journey that leads him into Monica’s life, but he quickly discovers it’s far from the apex of success she once had.
The plot sounds eye-rollingly cheesy, however, beneath this exterior lies a wonderfully inventive, touching and very hilarious film that no doubt will find a loyal audience. The cast is stellar from top to bottom. Ingram skillfully pulls off the naïve, mouth-breathing, nerd extraordinaire Tobe, resisting the easy over-the-top route.
The supporting characters, from Dennehy as the cantankerous grandfather to the pop art-collecting mentor Claude (Keith David), solidify an already smart and original script.
But it is Cattrall who is the heart of this film, delivering a performance that registers a sincerity and depth we have not seen from her up to this point. All the notes Cattrall hits as this weary and worn woman ring true.
With plenty of laughs, quite a bit of brains and a strong cast, “Meet Monica Velour” will not have difficulty finding an appreciative audience.
刚看到电影的中文名字和宣传海报时，我以为又是一部urban comedy，因为KIM在欲望都市里的表演台出色了，
看到后来才知道，the film is higher than my expectation。17岁的高中生TOBE喜欢30年代的音乐，70年代的电影，还有80年代红极一时的porn star monica（别问我什么事porn，自己查去），当他看到MONICA将在CLUB做STRIP DANCE的消息时，决定前往路易斯安那州看她，顺便卖掉他的旧卡车。MONICA的出场时我玩玩没有想到的，当curtain起来的时候，当人们期待一个艳星惊艳出场时，一个49岁的中年大妈出场了。酒吧里的DUDES都在嘲笑她时，唯有TOBE在欣赏着，因为她是他的fantasy。TOBE之后发现，MONICA生活是多么的窘迫：无法MEET HER BELLY FULL,CAN'T RAISE HER CHILD,甚至受到了歧视。然而在TOBE眼里，MONICA的一切都那么美好，他决定帮助她的生活走上正轨，然而MONICA确认为他只是一个KID，一切纯属胡闹~当MONICA发现TOBE把卖掉的卡车钱留给了自己并看了那本相册之后，感动溢于言表（这个词好俗）。TOBE回到家中后，与自己喜欢的AMANDA成了朋友，而MONICA也赢得了女儿的抚养权~
故事就不赘述那么多了，我想谈几点。
1电影中充斥着美国文化的PIECES
首先是30年代的音乐。熟悉美国流行乐的人都知道，30年代是JAZZ爆发的时期，也是开启摇滚时代的时期（别问我什么事摇滚时期，你听的什么LINKIN PARK只是一个TINY PIECE)那个时代的音乐是现代一流美国流行乐的root。 其次，当TOBE遇到车主时，发现他收集了很多旧物，买主说了这么一句话：junk is american culture, america is like a teenage full of 荷尔蒙。的确，美国是没有什么历史的，所以它的文化本质就是大融合，也就是JUNK，简单地说，你听到的什么garage 之类的就是基于美国JUNK文化根源的。 再次，我们都知道美国是产PORN大国，所以把故事放在这样一个大环境下，再美国不过了。
2为什么电影吸引我？
就我的观点来看，这部电影的艺术水平应该和brokenback mountain接近，肯定是在the kid are alright之上的。单就KIM的演技来说，就把电影往深度进行了拓展。一个过气的PORN STAR+单亲妈妈，她的人生是不是应该一团糟？然而当她用她的人生经历触碰TOBE的人生经历时，撞出了许多火花，或许有时候太现实往往并不能让自己摆脱。我还喜欢49岁女人和17岁男孩的友谊，你或许认为那是畸形的，但这正是电影的精髓所在，如果是一对年轻男女，那就是烂大街的片了。
3关于追梦
这一点不好说，说出来就俗了，无非是梦想很美好，现实很骨感。 但如果你看了电影，相信我，你找不到艳遇去表达。。。
先写这么多吧~
