Jane White is Sick and Twisted

2/5 stars

Hmmm….

Not sure what to say about this. I had high hopes, and was looking forward to seeing Wil Wheaton in something recent. However, I just didn’t see the humor in most of it. Colin Mockery had some funny bits, as did Wheaton, but overall I kept wondering when it was going to get funny. There were plenty of good comedy actors (like Brad Sherwood and Debra Wilson), but it just didn’t come together for me.

The basic story is that Jane White wants to see her Dad, a talk show host based on Jerry Springer, in Chicago, since he left her family 15 years earlier. She tries to get on the show by being whatever freak the talk show is looking for (the first one is Closet Transvestite Prostitute).
