Itty Bitty Titty Committee

I DIDN'T LIKE THIS MOVIE. I THINK I HAVE WATCHED TO MUCH LWORD THAT HAD A STORY LINE. I THINK THIS WAS MADE FOR REALLY YOUND TEENAGE GIRLS.

A fun film with familiar faces.
I love that the conversation at the dinner table is not around the fact that the leads is a lez, but that she's no longer going out with her girlfriend, that mom loved; a nice change. Daniela Sea and Jenny Shimizu make apperences in this lightly political fun film. Cudos to the women in Hollywood making films for the ladies!

The first time, I saw this film was at the premiere in L.A. The energy in the theater and on the screen rocked. The soundtrack pulls you in to what is a radical feminist storyline, with tongue firmly planted in... cheek... of course.
Although they are not the main "couple", the storyline focuses on, Daniela Sea and Carly Pope make a very sexy pair when they hook up on a roadtrip to a demonstration.
It's a fun movie!

I thought this was a very good entertaining movie. I liked it, it had a little bit of everything in it. I definatly recommend it.

"Itty Bitty Titty Committee"

Kinda Itty Bitty

There was a great deal of talk about "Itty Bitty Titty Committee" while it made the GLBT film festival circuit so I had my hopes up for a major new film. I was a bit disappointed because it could have been so much more than it was.
Anna is just beginning to face her sexuality and with the fact that she is not satisfied with the world as it is. She is shy and just finished high school and yearns for her own strength and the right to change the world. She lives at home with her folks and works at a clinic specializing in plastic surgery. She just broke up with her girlfriend and her family accepts her sexuality. One evening she sees a woman who is attempting to reclaim public space by repainting the clinic where Anna works. Sadie, the painter, is the recruiting officer for C(i)A, a guerilla girls' group which tries to make people see how bad plastic surgery is for women. Anna finds herself attracted to Sadie and joins the group and begins her journey of changing from meek and mousy to wild revolutionary.
Unfortunately the film is forgettable because it fails as a satire and loses its sense of political insight. The group C(i)A feels strongly about sexism in society but they express the way they feel through ranting and ridiculous pranks that, in effect, do nothing to further their cause.
Even though the film expresses female empowerment, the director of the film, Jamie Babbit, expects us to believe that Anna can abuse her friendship with the transgender character and then be with a very feminine girl who is known for the abuse that she has heaped on other women. There two points render the film invalid to me.
There are two kinds of women in the film--beautiful, feminine ones and angry women but for whatever reason, the groups do not really come together. Now I am not saying the film is not fun to watch--it is. There are lots of laughs and the themes of friendship, loyalty and betrayal ring true. The music and the acting are excellent as is the love story but the political message was just lost--at least, on me. What could have been a socially relevant film comes across lost. Much of the humor is tired and juvenile. The shock tactics are not subversive and the film falls flat for me. I am afraid I may ire some of my female readers but please understand that this is my opinion. I really wanted to like "Itty" but it just did not happen. The movie here may have been relevant years ago but today we have moved ahead so quickly and this causes, in my mind, the film to lose its effectiveness.
