#Starlet movie movie

She has no effect other than inconveniences throughout a majority of the movie up until the end, when she drives to Sadie's house to tell her that Jane stole her money from their start of the relationship.

Not-So-Harmless Villain: Melissa isn's so much a villain as she is an extremely whiny and petty deuteragonist.

No Antagonist: The closest thing this film has to a villain is Melissa, who is just an annoying False Friend to Jane.

Despite Jane's theft being the driving force of the plot, she is never confronted by Sadie.

Melissa is never seen suffering any comeuppance for her erratic behavior.

Intergenerational Friendship: Jane and Sadie's relationship is pretty much the driving point of the entire movie.Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: While Jane may not necessarily display a traditional heart of gold (keeping her mouth shut about stashing ten thousand dollars she found in an elderly woman's thermos), she does frequently go out of her way to help the people around her for no reward.When she drunkenly recommends that Jane spend her 'hypothetical' money on someone close to her, she freaks out when Tess does exactly that on Sadie and not her. False Friend: Melissa turns out to be one of these.Jane's Dumb Blonde tendencies are never implied to be a true hinderance to her character. Dumb Is Good: The film is much more favorable towards genuine acts of service than it is towards intelligence.Dumb Blonde: Jane is never shown to be particularly book smart, and does lots of air-headed things like drink from a glass after her own dog.It's implied at the very end that she's been apprehensive to get close to anyone else because of the loss she's experienced in her lifetime. Gradually, she warms up to their relationship. Defrosting Ice Queen: Sadie begins the movie very short and blunt with Jane, hiding no dislike for her presence.Whether it occurs after the ending is left ambiguous, but regardless, Sadie doesn't appear to be particularly offended. Ambiguous Ending: No confrontation occurs between Jane and Sadie about the money despite Melissa's interference.Alpha Bitch: Jane's roommate, Melissa, to insufferable levels.After scouring yard sales for furniture and purchasing an old thermos to use as a vase, she discovers ten thousand dollars hidden inside and decides to try and get to know the elderly woman who sold it to her. Jane is a young woman who begins living in a room in Los Angeles with her friend Melissa and her boyfriend Mikey. It stars Dree Hemingway and Besedka Johnson.
