Written and Directed by Joel Hershman, HOLD ME, THRILL ME, KISS ME is an award-winning screwball comedy with a big heart. The film follows a small-time criminal hiding from his nutty ex-fiancée and the law in an El Monte, CA trailer park. As he bides his time waiting for a phony passport, he meets an oddball cast of characters, and finds himself juggling the affections of two sisters. HOLD ME, THRILL ME, KISS ME was an instant cult classic that collected numerous festival awards, and earned rave reviews from every major film critic of the time, including; Jeffrey Lyons and Leonard Maltin. The film was written in 10 days and made in 18 on a budget of under $200,000. Hershman met actress Diane Ladd (ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE, CHINATOWN, WILD AT HEART) at a party and told her about his upcoming project. She asked him to send her the script and that night Hershman went home and wrote a character specifically for Ladd who signed on immediately to play Lucille, an aging hypochondriac Southern Belle. Sean Young (STRIPES, BLADE RUNNER, NO WAY OUT), a neighbor of Ladd's at the time, learned of the film through Ladd's involvement and signed on to play the obsessed heiress, Twinkle, in a hilarious self-parody of herself. Rounding out the cast is indie darling Adrienne Shelly (WAITRESS, TRUST, THE UNBELIEVABLE TRUTH) as Dannie, the naïve love interest, newcomer Max Parrish as Eli/Bud/Fritz, the handsome small-time criminal taking refuge at the trailer park, and Andrea Naschak (former adult star April Rayne) as Sabra, the sadistic nymphomaniac and topless dancer. Even 60's radical drug guru, Timothy Leary, drops in as an over-the-hill con artist. Add an incredible underground/alternative soundtrack featuring the Pixies, Violent Femmes, Elvis Hitler, and the Cramps and you get a funny, fast-paced ride.

The zaniness never stops in this one, it is a blast to watch. Some of the acting is mediocre at best, you can tell easily who would have a career in acting, and who wouldn't, but that doesn't take away from the fact that this is a bizarre, fun little movie, I have proudly owned this on VHS for many years now. Some great music in it too, maybe most notably The Violent Femmes
