From director David Michael Latt, Jane White is Sick and Twisted stars Kim Little in the title role, as a young woman who becomes convinced that the host of a shock-talk TV show (David Lander of Laverne & Shirley) is her father and sets out on an oddball journey to be reunited with him. The film's supporting cast is a veritable who's who of TV C-listers, including Dustin Diamond of Saved by the Bell, Maureen McCormick of The Brady Bunch, and Richard Kline of Three's Company. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Wade Major, Boxoffice Magazine
Achieves that rare balancing act of skewering a subject while simultaneously paying homage to it.
Luke Y. Thompson, New Times

Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Jane White is Sick and Twisted is never going to be mistaken for an Oscar Winner or Merchant-Ivory production. I mean that as a compliment.
