Rating: 2.0
Porn star Jane (Dree Hemingway) goes to garage sales looking for items to fill her room with, eventually purchasing a Thermos (which she intends to use as a vase) from octogenarian Sadie (Besedka Johnson), discovering thousands of dollars in the Thermos and hording the money - instead of being a rational human being, she decides to stalk Sadie and force herself to be her friend instead of just handing her the cash back. Baker rethinks Harold and Maude - about colliding generations finding a 'bond' - but the plausibility of the Jane-Sadie relationship is severely in question and dictated not by human motivation (Hemingway's character can't help but come across as vacuous) but by the script's demands: sure, there's a scene at the cemetery that gives a hint as to why Sadie would continue bothering with Jane, but it's less potent for the mind than the inserted (and arguably unnecessary) scenes of sexual penetration smack dab in the middle of the movie. James Ransone, as a clueless drug dealer/pimp, is the movie's comic relief.
