This is a 1994 action-comedy-crime film directed by Julie Cypher. Starring Adrienne Shelly (as Teresa / Gloria), Lou Diamond Phillips, Casey Siemaszko, Melissa Etheridge (as a hooker), Tippi Hedren, K.D. Lang, Kiefer Sutherland, et al. Gloria has earrings containing detail of the U.S. Space Program. She accidentally drowns in the pool of Carl, leather of the extortionists. So, they must find a look-a-like for Gloria and this one is mathematician Teresa. She has been drugged, kidnapped, red hair colored and tattooed with a Chinese dragon upon her chest - just like Gloria. Teresa escapes and a merry chase begins. Melissa Etheridge appears for a short time as a hooker in the prison where she gives a cigarette and a light to Teresa. A big part of sound track is written and performed by Melissa Etheridge - "2001", "I Really Must Be Going", "All American Girl", "Do It for the Rush", "Save Myself". The movie is a nice entertainment.

Cult Classic....Real Movie Buffs will love this!

Okay...so I bought this movie because of it's history. Yes, it is directed by Julie Cypher (ex lover/girlfriend of my favorite singer, Melissa Etheridge). Yes, it features Lou Diamond Phillips, Julie's ex husband, a few other noteable actors (kd lang, etc etc) and a cameo by Melissa herself including alot of her music...anyways...that is why I bought it. Buuuuut, it was very entertaining. It was obviously meant to be wacky and hard to follow...duh! It was very funny and just a good movie to watch. It's not deep or inspirational or heart-felt and it's not supposed to be! If you are a fan of any of these actors, give it a shot. I got my copy used through an amazon.com vendor and I'm very glad I did. $15 bucks for a rare piece of ME history is nothin...especially since I'm a huge movie fan anyways ;)
Cheerio..

This has the makings of a cult classic
21 Jun 2000
This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. In this movie, a grad student gets drugged, kidnapped and tattooed by a group of not-so-smart gangsters who incidentally work for a frozen food factory owner. The action and laughter go on and on in a zany and unbelievably immaginitive plot that intertwines lesbian hookers, a redneck step-family and a corrupt FBI agent. But the one-liners in this movie make it worth seeing, alone. There are also many familiar actors and actresses in the cast ,but actors Lou Diamond Phillips and Diedrich Bader put on the most brilliant performances. The video is a little pricey, yet it is still one of the funniest shows you will ever see.
A Fast-paced, Madcap, Hilarious Romp!

This is a fast-paced, hilarious film with an interesting history. I initially purchased it because kd lang had a role in it, and she is absolutely a scream as a pious, "Born Again" fervent Christian aunt who tries to give Teresa advice. Julie Cypher (Lee Diamond Phillips & Melissa Etheridge's Ex) directed this funny film that is very entertaining. Melissa Etheridge provides a great soundtrack with several original songs. Nancy McKeon is in a comical supporting role as Teresa's friend and sidekick. What starts off as Teresa and her friend going to an All-Girl party ends with car chases and meeting all kinds of characters along the way.
The acting was spot-on, and it appears the actors were having fun making this film.
A great film to watch over and over again.
