description: A hilarious, unpredictable satire about three talentless girls, and their quest to become famous."If you haven't heard of us, your friends probably have. . . " So begins this pitch-perfect satire about Daisy, Paque, and Stella, three girls from Arizona who are hungry for fame. Styling themselves after their idols, Bananarama, they form a pop band called Masterful Johnson. It isn't long before Stella quits the band to head for LA and become an actress, where she ends up rooting through celebrity garbage, performing macabre dinner theater, and lusting after bad-boy rocker Brian Metro. Paque and Daisy, however, continue with the band. After a string of embarrassing misadventures-including a fashion show at the local mall where they share the stage with a ten-year-old exhibitionistic gymnast-they're about ready to call it quits. But when a senator's son and his friend are mysteriously murdered, Paque and Daisy, the last people to see the victims alive, become the prime suspects in the case. Cashing in on their sudden notoriety, they record an EP, entitled We're Masterful Johnson, and the adventure is only beginning. . .Funny and clever, suffused with droll 80's nostalgia, We're So Famous , like the best satire, is fresh and compelling on the surface, and wicked underneath.
