Spork

From writer director J.B. Ghuman Jr. comes the colorful and foul-mouthed musical comedy SPORK, a film about a frizzy-haired, pink-cheeked outcast named Spork who is trying to navigate her way through the annuls of Junior High. When a school dance show provides a chance for Spork to show up a mean-girls gang, her trailer-park neighbor steps up to coach her with some “booty-poppin” moves. Featuring a vintage 90’s soundtrack (that includes original music by Lady Tigra and Yeti Beatz; JJ Fad’s “SuperSonic”; 2-Live Crew's "Get It Girl"), a score by Casey James and the Stay Puft Kid; and extended school-hall dance sequences, SPORK is a film about standing out and fitting in.

“One of the major highlights of this year's [Tribeca Film] fest is the teen comedy "Spork," which still has two showings left. Picture Jeffrey Eugenides' novel "Middlesex" crossed with "Napoleon Dynamite" as directed by John Waters. The film is a bright (and dark) comic tale of a 14-year-old girl nicknamed Spork because, through a joke of fate, she was born with boy-parts. Oh well. At high school, daily social torture ensues.” (Kyle Smith, New York Post)
