Description

Not all girls want to play with dolls. Todd Solondz became the most talked-about new director in recent years with this acclaimed comedy about the suburban condition. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, Welcome to the Dollhouse follows 11-year-old Dawn "Wienerdog" Wiener (Heather Matarazzo), a junior high geek who just wants to be popular. Teased by her classmates, tormented by the school bully, Dawn develops an improbable plan to seduce the star of a high-school garage band. Bitterly funny and true to life, WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE is a "mordantly hilarious suburbancomedy - excruciating funny." (Janet Maslin, NEW YORK TIMES)

    Very rarely does a film like this get made. I feel like it really grabs the reality of what kids go through these days in school . The main girl in this movie truly feels alone on the world. Not sure if its a great director, or the actress, or just a match made in heaven, but she really delivers on making you feel for her. Truly a 90S treasure

    I rented this based on all the great reviews, and I was sorely disappointed. I was expecting a funny movie, but this one just left me with a sad, disgusted feeling. I got that this was satire and commentary on suburban mores and whatnot, but it wasn't funny. Mostly I was just afraid for the main character. Waste of time.

  • Good movie
