"You just like my girl parts," says Rachael Leigh Cook as Dori, a pop singer whose true love for a rich-kid Marine (a very fine Jonathan Tucker) is impeded by her schizophrenia and his fire-breathing drill instructor (Val Kilmer). Writer-director Reverge Anselmo — how's that for a name? — works well with actors, including Agnes Bruckner as Sue, a young snob who takes a special pride in the quality of her blow jobs. But Anselmo, basing his script on a true story, juggles more plots than a full season of The O.C., setting his cast adrift in a sea of soap-opera bubbles.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
