Inside Monkey Zetterland / The Last Days Of Frankie The Fly

INSIDE MONKEY ZETTERLAND:

It’s another typical day for wannabe screenwriter Monkey Zetterland. His bored girlfriend dumps him. His neurotic mother is badgering him—again. Factor in a menagerie of terrorist neighbors, quirky stalkers and other assorted oddballs…and Monkey’s life is a real zoo! With a colorful star cast, this is an offbeat yet genuine look at love, acceptance and the importance of family—no matter how unconventional it is.

THE LAST DAYS OF FRANKIE THE FLY:

Frankie (Dennis Hopper) is a low-level mob associate known as "The Fly"—since, like a fly, he can do no harm to anybody. Being so peaceful, Sal (Michael Madsen), his boss, never sends him for any of his brutal ’missions,’ sending Vic (Dayton Callie), his right-hand man instead.

One day, Frankie is assigned to collect an old debt from Joey (Kiefer Sutherland), a porno filmmaker and compulsive gambler deeply in debt to Sal. There Frankie meets Margaret (Daryl Hannah), a porno actress with whom he falls in love. To further her career, Frankie makes a personal agreement with Joey that will allow him to write the script for Margaret’s next film, a serious one this time.

Trouble begins when Sal discovers he’s been fooled and plots revenge. Not a single one of Frankie’s friends will be spared…

This entertaining and highly comic film features a surprisingly warm and tender performance from Hopper, which should delight and surprise his many fans.
