Patti Rocks Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: David Burton Morris
Genres: Comedy Drama
Rating:
A macho misogynist meets his match in this independent comedy-drama. Shortly before Christmas, Eddie Jenks (John_Jenkins) gets a call from his old friend Billy Regis (Chris_Mulkey). Billy has just learned that his girlfriend Patti Rocks (Karen_Landry) is pregnant; Patti doesn't know that Billy already has a wife and two kids, and Billy wants Eddie to lend moral support for what he expects to be an ugly scene when he breaks the news to her. Over the course of a long drive, Billy regales Eddie at great length with his low opinion of women in general and Patti in particular, but when Eddie finally encounters Patti in the flesh, he discovers an intelligent, down-to-earth woman rather than the slatternly slob he'd been led to expect. As it turns out, Patti already figured out that Billy was married, wants no help from him in raising the child (which she intends to keep), and refuses to be apologetic about pursuing sex when she wants it, the same way a man would. Chris_Mulkey and John_Jenkins previously appeared as Billy and Eddie in David_Burton_Morris's 1975 feature Loose_Ends. Mark Deming, Rovi
