Quiz Lady
When their gambling addicted mother disappears from the nursing home, two estranged sisters, Anne (Awkwafina) & Jenny (Sandra Oh) reunite & must reconcile in order to pay the ransom on dognapped Mr. Linguine. In this screwball comedy, reckless & untrustworthy Jenny tricks game show obsessed Anne into making a crazy road trip to audition for her favorite TV quiz show in order to earn $80,000 for rescue money. Will Ferrell, Holland Taylor, Jason Swartzman, & Tony Hale are among the supporting cast along with a surprise cameo. Oh was over-the-top funny. This one is about sisterhood & for those game show fans. As the wacky film winds down, funny character summaries pop up on the screen.
Alien gives it 3 “Can’t Stop the Quiz” stars out of 4.
