Om denne filmen

It's Christmas Eve in Tinseltown and Sin-Dee (newcomer Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) is back on the block. Upon hearing that her pimp boyfriend (James Ransone, Starlet, Generation Kill) hasn't been faithful during the 28 days she was locked up, the sex worker and her best friend, Alexandra (newcomer Mya Taylor), embark on a mission to get to the bottom of the scandalous rumor. Their rip-roaring odyssey leads them through various subcultures of Los Angeles.

Clumsy, badly acted, and completely unfunny. This is an amateurish attempt at comedy, lame even by indie standards. Not worth either the time or money.The positive reviews seem based on a particular political agenda, not on the quality of the film itself, which is extremely poor.

If you're not a person who has struggled to find good representation in media, you will be more inclined to dismiss this movie as poorly made. Yes, there are moments which would never have seen the light of day in a high budget movie, but this movie was shot on iPhones by queer artists. This is a great low budget indie movie starring trans women of color playing trans women of color depicting real issues trans women of color face.

I just wish this movie had a decent story. One unlikeable trans hooker runs around town screaming at everyone. That's the entire plot.... Having a lot of trans actors doesn't make a good movie - it just makes a movie with a lot of trans actors.
