False musical and comical documentary around a hypothetical prima donna of the song, Jackie Washington (Jennifer Lewis), created for television and with some really delirious moments. The protagonist is supported by a long list of illustrious celebrities and not so illustrious that appear in an endless number of declarations on the life and scandals of the prima donna (Tim Curry, Whoopie Goldberg, Tom Arnold, Julie Hagerty, Bette Midler, Liza Minelly, Dolly Parton, Chris Rock ...). During this "documentary" led by Tim Curry, we are present at many different testimonies, catastrophic essays, images of file and more than one controversy.
Marc Shaiman turns out to be credited as author of the music and arranger for the musical numbers. As lyricists, Shaiman, Mark Alton Brown and Jennifer Lewis. The score is limited, contributing more entity the good handful of songs that the prima donna performs, in a notable homage to a whole era of the black music, with direct references to the Jacksonīs Five, Aretha Franklin and other legends of the soul and the blues. With regard to the score we can emphasize some brief passages into a jazzy and soul sound, though there shines in a special way the original work (score and song) included in the delirious scene of a false movie ("Coco's Revenge") that the prima donna once starred, emulating her heroines Foxy Brown and Cleopatra Jones.
Some declarations do not have any waste and there are included some appearances that stand out on other, as that of David Hyde Pierce playing the role of a crazy pianist or that of Tom Arnold as ex-agent of the prima donna.
There is a DVD release for this movie and some admirers, but this movie has not caused any CD release yet, so this work joins the list of his unknown projets and only can be listened in the own movie.
