An electronic ankle bracelet and being under house arrest aren't about to stop up-and-coming actress Maggie Chase (Tanna Frederick) from the two things she craves the most: real fame and true love. With more "Google points" than her Iowa hometown, but far less than Angelina Jolie, Maggie is desperate to claw her way off the B-list of action/adventure pictures and into major movie stardom. With a team of handlers (Ron Vignone, Diane Salinger, David Proval and Zack Norman) to spin her recent drunk driving arrests into tabloid gold and bad-boy movie star boyfriend Dov Lambert (Christopher Rydell) on her arm, Maggie's star is on the rise. Things get complicated when a trip home to meet Dov's legendary family introduces Maggie to the world of Hollywood Royalty (Kathryn Crosby, Mary Crosby, Peter Bogdanovich, Dennis Christopher and Jack Heller) and to her boyfriend's brother Aaron Lambert (Noah Wyle), the black sheep of the family, a failed writer who can actually see who Maggie really is behind her ingénue facade, but who has dark secrets of his own...
Leave your thoughts about Queen of the Lot.
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA provocative and funny satire that's somewhat uneven, awkward and contrived. Tanna Frederick once again proves to be a sexy, charismatic and immensely talented actress. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisIt's one of the funniest things I've seen in a movie, and the closest Jaglom has come to brilliant satire. It also explains why this woman is just chatting on a countertop and not Jay Leno's couch. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThere is something cozy and a little claustrophobic about Henry Jaglom's indulgent Hollywood satires. |
| Boxoffice MagazineTim CogshellThis movie is often hysterical, and sometime very sweet. |
| The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe film starts out as a gentle Hollywood satire, shifts abruptly into a comedy of (bad) manners, turns into a crime story and deviates into a suicide attempt before it reverts to a Hollywood satire with a happy ending. No Hollywood satire should ever have a happy ending. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWalter AddiegoMocking Tinseltown is a pretty exhausted subject, and even Jaglom, a genuine insider, has a hard time making it fresh. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittBy the end of the film, I just felt sorry for Frederick and wondered if another director might be able to find a way to showcase her better. |
| Boston PhoenixGerald PearyJosef von Sternberg had Marlene Dietrich. George Cukor had Katharine Hepburn. Henry Jaglom has, uh, Tanna Frederick. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)By the end of the film, I just felt sorry for Frederick and wondered if another director might be able to find a way to showcase her better. |
| Village VoiceKarina LongworthQueen of the Lot is sort of sweet in its earnestness, sort of frustratingly delusional, and ultimately unsubstantial-but there are moments of meta-provocation that almost justify the lopsided enterprise. |
