Itty Bitty Titty Committee is film by Director Jamie Babbitt (probably most famous in the lesbian community for her work on But I'm a Cheerleader). Itty Bitty titty Committee focuses on the (mis)adventures of a group of friends in the C(I)A, a fairly radical feminist group on a mission.
Shy naive nice girl Anna (played by Melonie Diaz) joins the group after a chance meeting with its leader of sorts Sadie (Nicole Vicius). The adventure that follows is eye opening, amusing and life changing.
Guinevere Turner's role in the Itty Bitty Titty Committee is a small one, playing talk show host Marcy Maloney. Although her screentime is short, she still manages to land one of the funniest lines in the movie.
Tracy's Thoughts on The Itty Bitty titty Committee::
So I was looking forward to seeing this movie, because Guin was in it obviously, but also because it seemed like a goofy fun lesbian movie and there's just not enough of them around. I wasn't disappointed, I laughed a lot through the film and I thought it had a lot of cool characters in it.
Even with Guin only being in it as a sort of guest star, she of course lit up the screen when she was on it. Another person who did this was Deak Evgenikos. Never really saw the attraction there before of this girl, but she has a certain charisma that transends the screen so that was nice.
Carly Pope was cool in the film and got better as it went on, shame the blonde chick had such an annoying voice and an annoying nose! Other than these distractions, it was a great fun movie and got a lot of applause from the dykes in the cinema at the end. The one liners and amusing way some strong political messages were handled was great. One of the highlights for me though was Guins line..
"we need to lose the dick"
Great movie, go see it and get it on DVD when it comes out.

Angela's Thoughts on The Itty Bitty titty Committee::
Ok so this movie had bad written all over it as far as I could see. Sure Jamie Babbitt has done loads of amazing TV, but I was one of a few people that never really 'got' But I'm a Cheerleader. That said I was dragged along to see it given Guin Turner appeared.
Pleasantly surprised is how I would describe my thoughts on the film. Definitely one of the better lesbian films I've seen recently (good lord let's not mention April's Shower!!!). As Tracy mentioned it was good to see a lesbian goofoff comedy, these don't happen enough as there's usually some tragedy or twisted love story at the core. Itty Bitty Titty Committee went for the non subtle political message draped in amusing characters and overall funny storyline. Nice.
Get the DVD.. hopefully it will get a release!
