Meet Monica Velour

Fantasy meets reality

Directed by Keith Bearden

201098 min5.8 / 10

A comedic, bittersweet coming-of-age romance about a nerdy teenager's collision between fantasy and reality when he meets his aging idol.

For Tobe, a nerdy, horny, frizzy-haired cineaste who doesn't quite fit in with the average contemporary teen, the pinnacle of womanhood is Monica Velour, a soft-core actress who reached the zenith of her career in the 1980s. When Tobe learns that his love idol is headlining hundreds of miles away at the Gentlemen's Petting Zoo in Indiana, he drives off with carefree glory, filled with the hope of meeting her.
