Jimmy and Judy on IMDB
Cast & Crew:
Edward Furlong, William Sadler, Rachel Bella, Chaney Kley, directed by Randall Rubin, Jon Schroder
Synopsis:
The ultimate teenage outcast road movie, Jimmy and Judy charts the path of a pair of outsiders who fall in love and out of control as they travel across an American landscape dotted with hypocrisy, materialism, drugs and violence. Written and directed by Randall K. Rubin and Jon Schroder, Jimmy and Judy offers a fresh take on classic adolescent themes such as rebellion, love, and anger.
I went to the premiere last night, and I must say this movie is truly excellent. And I'm not just saying that because I'm biased. Jimmy and Judy falls into the gritty, ugly, tragic indie genre that I love (see: Niagara, Niagara, Twin Falls Idaho) following a young couple that you know are doomed from movie poster. The movie is very real... sometimes funny, sometimes shocking, but ultimately very sad. Some of the most intense scenes use the effective tactic of showing very little, while during other scenes you feel a bit assaulted by the imagery. A very intense and slightly chubby Edward Furlong plays the title character of Jimmy well, alternating between a hurt, lost young man and troubled delinquent let down by his parents and society. It's almost painful to watch as he manipulates the naive Judy (Rachel Bella)and turns her into the same kind of broken human being. William Sadler is excellent as the legendary Uncle Rodney and practically steals the movie with his meth infused soliloquy mid-film. This movie shows the kind of love that will change your life forever, if you could only survive it. Well done.
Go see this movie! Tell your friends to see this movie! If you city was not selected call your local theater!
