After premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival last spring, the comedy Meet Monica Velour is coming to theaters in New York and Los Angeles April 8, starring Sex and the City's Kim Cattrall as the titular former porn star who starts up a strange romance with an awkward teenager played by Dustin Ingram. When she reviewed it for us at the festival Perri Nemiroff called the movie "simple, sweet and enjoyable,"; as we gear up for the film's theatrical release, we're exclusively debuting five images from the film, including scenes with Cattrall, Ingram and Brian Dennehy, who plays the teenage kid's grandfather.
Check out all five of the images in the gallery at the bottom of this post, and see the larger versions in our Blend Film Database. Below is the film's official synopsis:
In this irreverent comedy, awkward teenager Tobe (Dustin Ingram) sets off on a road trip to meet Monica Velour (Kim Cattrall), his favorite '80s porn star, at a rare live appearance hundreds of miles away. Instead of the glamorous sexpot portrayed on film, he finds a 49-year-old single mom living in a trailer in rural Indiana, performing at seedy strip clubs to make ends meet. A starry-eyed Tobe, still captivated by his crush, befriends Monica, further complicating her difficult life. Kim Cattrall gives a career-defining performance in this offbeat love story that appeals to the dreamer -- and the nerd -- in all of us.
