Incroyable Irène

So often these days you find movies where the trailer was better than the movie itself. This movie is simple and honest. A good story well told and well acted. I love indie movies for this reason. It entertains without pretense and delights with small surprises. If this movie does not surprise you I would be amazed. Loved it.

This is a fun movie with a light, breezy script. It's easy to watch and doesn't appear to have any deep, dark socio-political statement. If you're looking for nice way to pass an evening, then this is the film for you. To top it off it's almost 100% Canadian made. Enjoy!

Irene wants to be a cheerleader and she'll do just about anything including licking the boys locker room floor. Irene ends up getting suspended and volunteering at the senior home next to the high school.

Irene ends up lifting the spirits of the residents by getting them to tryout for a reality show with a dance routine.

Really good story and funny cast.

Worth a watch - you will be entertained!

I watched this on tmn on demand. They don't always have great movies but I put this on because I was bored and planning on falling asleep to it. I loved it. There's a great message to it, the script was great and the acting was amazing. I've never reviewed a movie before, but this one was just awesome. Definitely worth the watch

A movie about a fat girl having a dream becoming a cheerleader, that's not immediately the thing I had in mind while thinking about a good movie. Not really the thing I would go for normally. But if I have to be honest I was pleasantly surprised by Don't Talk To Irene. It's a movie with a lot of funny moments, aspecially the talk. Irene, played by Michelle McLeod, is fat and not goodlooking, she talks to a poster of Geena Davis as her motivational speaker. What follows is a girl that doesn't get and doesn't mind being bullied, she just wants to achieve her dream, and she will do whatever it takes. It's a nice story about people that are a bit outcasted, but that don't really mind, and do whatever they like to do. There are enough funny moments to make it a good comedy. Much better than I expected it to be.
