Review of Trixie

Trixie (2000)
7/10
clumsy talk amid propaganda
8 February 2012
When I first started watching Alan Rudolph's "Trixie", my reaction was that Emily Watson's character talked like George W. Bush. However, it turns out that her malapropisms are nothing compared to the double-speak of those around her. It's basically a satire on the political world. Nick Nolte's senator is truly a slimeball.

No, "Trixie" isn't a masterpiece, but it is a fun satire. The character's Archie Bunker-style verbal goofs are the best parts, but there's even more in store, as she ends up involved in a murder plot surrounded by sleazy characters. Worth seeing.

Also starring Dermot Mulroney, Brittany Murphy, Nathan Lane, Will Patton and Lesley Ann Warren.
