PARK CITY -- There's no other way of saying it: A girl sucks off her dog in this carnal, crazy and, most amazingly, heartwarming love story from Bob Goldthwait. Bagged with deliriously unprintable moments, "Stay" flabbergasted and fractured a Sundance audience here during the weekend. We can hear the French bark-ing "auteur" already.
Certain to win the Howard Stern crowd, "Stay" should bark up some strong college-kid notoriety and metastasize into a bizarre form of date movie. More likely, it will be the kind of outing that everyone from the dorm floor goes to see en masse because they're unlikely to have the courage to pair up on a first date for such subject matter.
Undeniably, local standards will be "offended." As such, a neo-early Miramax marketing ploy of playing up the controversial could unleash some big dollars. If anything, a brave and wacky distributor should readily bag considerable loot with this no-budget oddity, which used unauthorized locations with "for sale" signs on the lawn.
There's a perversely profound premise in this Goldthwait concoction: It's OK to tell white lies about ourselves because we improve by trying to live up to our false better images. That said, the terrible thing that Amy Melinda Page Hamilton) has done confounds even her: One boring evening, she actually performed oral sex on her dog. Even she can't figure out why, much less explain it to others. Yet instead of stopping in the name of love, she confesses to her fiance. Faster than you can say "Dr. Phil", that guy is out the door.
Beneath the profanely preposterous premise, "Stay" is a rather sweet and conventional love story that perambulates around the notions of trust and acceptance. Interlacing his raw humor with tender notions, Goldthwait has certainly plopped down a surprisingly warm romantic comedy.
It's a tribute to the superb cast that this thing actually gells. Highest praise to Hamilton for her daringly endearing portrayal of the nice girl with her bowser on her belt. Overall, the entire cast is sympathetic in a wide range of goofball roles, with special praise to Jack Plotnick as Amy's meth-head brother and Geoff Pierson as her ramrod father. Not to mention the uncredited love-struck canine.
Technically, "Stay" makes do: Credit filmmaker Goldthwait and editor Jason Stewart for the nicely gaited pace and Gerald Brunskill for the sweetly screwy music.
