Come Simi
In this award-winning film, a twenty-minute drive to Simi Valley turns into an odyssey for a family of three inextricably linked (and slightly crazy) women. At her estranged aunt’s request, nine-month pregnant and neurotic Jenica (Jenica Bergere) takes her dementia-suffering mother (Karen Landry) to see her in Simi Valley. Not wanting to go it alone, she enlists the help of her estranged aging porn star sister (Tawny Kitaen). With the help of her navigation system (Molly Shannon), seemingly heard only by Jenica, she tries to reconcile her family and their past before her daughter arrives and her mother passes. However, life’s route is fraught with detours, never direct, but always runs through love, humor, hope and even a bit of crazy.
