A very funny and ruthless satire on the Material Mom. I saw this at the Seattle Film Festival, and the audience was about evenly split...between those who's jaws were dropping in shock, and the rest of us who just couldn't stop laughing. The best part of it is the fact that the Madonna character doesn't even seem to notice or care that her baby is missing. The actress playing Madonna doesn't go for a dead-on imitation, but instead a sort of "Madonna-Monster" creation, which works very well, especially in a scene when she's in the recording studio and all sorts of electronic tricks are used to help her tone deaf singing. Kudos all around, especially to the director, who gets great performances from the little Catholic School girls.

If you are an idiot who actually cares about the life and off-stage exploits of Madonna, then you definitely should not watch this short film--it will make you angry. However, if you are like most sane people and are put off by the bizarre antics of the likes of Lindsay Lohan and other Hollywood nut cases, then you'll probably enjoy this film. Be warned, however, that the short takes no prisoners, as it's very harsh in its depiction of this "Queen of Pop".

The film begins with a maid caring (not too well) for Madonna's child, Lourdes (great name, huh?). Madonna's too busy having bizarre sexual adventures with two obviously gay men who look like they walked right off her stage show. And, a bit later, when the baby is kidnapped, the maid is confused as to what to do and Madonna is STILL having perhaps the world's longest sexual three-way to care. In the end, Madonna does about what you'd expect from a mother with the instincts of a hamster--give it a look and see.

This film is a bit crude with the sexual references and language. It's also far from subtle, but frankly showing the life of this super-celebrity is hard to do in a sophisticated G-rated film. Plus, the film is a bit cruel and shows Madonna to be about as decent and caring as Atilla the Hun. But despite all this, it is funny and the message is right on target. Good job by all...I just hope they make a film about Britney next!
