Anna (Melonie Diaz) is a woman in her early twenties who has recently graduated from college but is still figuring out what she wants to do with her life. Anna works as a receptionist for a plastic surgeon, but has mixed feelings about how he manipulates women's negative self-image for profit. Anna is also single and a lesbian, and is having a hard time meeting new women after breaking up with her latest girlfriend. One evening, Anna sees a woman spray painting graffiti on the side of the building where she works, encouraging women to not get breast enlargement surgery; Anna is intrigued and introduces herself. The vandal is Sadie (Nicole Vicius), the leader of a group of lesbian counter-cultural pranksters who call themselves "C*nts in Action," or the CIA. Sadie takes a liking to Anna and invites her to join fellow members Shulamith (Carly Pope), Aggie (Lauren Mollica), and Meat (Deak Evgenikos) as they deface billboards and put up homemade sculptures of feminist icons in public parks. Anna likes the CIA and their aggressive style, and she is strongly attracted to Sadie; eventually, they sleep together, but Anna soon learns Sadie already has a longtime companion, Courtney (Melanie Mayron), and she begins to wonder if she can support every position the CIA has embraced. Itty Bitty Titty Committee was voted Best Feature Film at the 2007 South by Southwest Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Leslie Felperin, Variety
Great title, shame about the movie.
-
Mike McGranaghan, Aisle Seat
After 75 minutes of carefully establishing the characters and situations, the film comes up with the single most preposterous ending I've ever witnessed in a motion picture, undermining everything that's come before.
-
Jay Antani, Boxoffice Magazine
trades in platitudes and cliches, for lack of anything distinctive or bold to say
-
Andy Klein, Los Angeles CityBeat
The characters are not complex or memorable enough to linger in the mind much past the closing credits.
-
Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide's Movie Guide
The film's sense of humor is juvenile...
