Directed by Todd Stephens • 2001 • United States
Starring Sara Rue, Birkett Turton, Karen Black
Stevie Nicks superfan Gypsy (Sara Rue) and her best friend, Clive (Kett Turton), are a pair of outcasts stuck in small-town Ohio. When they learn about “The Night of 1,000 Stevies,” a look-alike contest in New York, the pair hit the road—encountering a host of fellow misfits along the way while discovering profound truths about themselves. Costarring John Doe of the legendary punk band X and the great Karen Black as a has-been lounge singer, Todd Stephens’s cult favorite puts a queer, outsider spin on both the road movie and the coming-of-age journey—with plenty of black eyeliner to spare.
