This movie is crazy!! It starts off with White Girl/Crystal (named for the drug, played by the super sexy Natasha Lyonne), a foul mouthed tough chick, being sentenced in court to a mental youth hospital in order to cure her rampant case of bulimia, where she will remain until she's 19. After that she will be transferred to prison for a stay of no less 25 years for stealing and selling her mother's drugs and posing as a prostitute to rip off johns. Super great music reminiscent of 70's blaxploitation films plays as White Girl is forced into a van and hauled away. At the hospital, White Girl refuses to eat and continues to purge for lengthy periods of time (there's a lot of barfing in this movie.) She becomes the unofficial leader of all the bulimic girls, as they follow her lead and take turns pucking into a bucket. The doctors force the girls to take a shot which will stop their gag reflex, however White Girl's urge to purge is too strong to be tamed, and she projectile vomits all over the doctor's face, landing in solitary.

During this time she has met her fellow cellmate and soon friend Cyclona, a psychotic lesbian serial killer and necrophiliac who has a life sentence for killing her entire family. Cyclona is seen to hallucinate as well as masturbate compulsively; she also repeatedly hits on White Girl, though White Girl rebuffs her. The two girls realize they have to escape before they are transferred to a maximum security facility. Cyclona claims that she knows a nun, Sister Gomez, who lives in Tijuana, Mexico and used to protect her from her parents, and who can help them now. During their Gym time, they cut the wire fence and escape, although White Girl gets a nasty, infected cut. Cyclona decides to find medicine for White Girl; leaving her lying in the dirt, she breaks into a country house nearby and kills the elderly couple who live there, and their son who is outside fixing the car. She comes back for White Girl and leads her to the house, who wonders where the owners have went. White Girl precedes to eat all of the food in the house, chug a bunch of horse medicine, and dye her hair blonde with peroxide. After eating she goes to find Cyclona, who is upstairs simulating sex with the dead bodies using a plug-in vibrator. White Girl is angry that Cyclona has killed people and gone off her meds, and threatens to leave her. Cyclona apologizes and begs her to stay, saying it will be her last time and she will take her medication. White Girl forgives her on the condition that Cyclona does everything that White Girl says on the trip.

The two steal the family's car as Cyclona tells White Girl about her father molesting her; White Girl replies "Doin' your dad definitely qualifies as some memorable shit. I know, I been there". They drink beers and huff spray paint as they drive. Eventually they crash, and lay in the grass. Finally they get up and find their way to a train and hop into an empty car. Unfortunately there's a crazy dude there as well, and he's all set to rape White Girl before Cyclona stabs him to death. They steal his guns and crack cocaine. Cyclona kills a security man before he can catch them. After riding on the train for a while, they decide to get off and see where they are, and leave a trail of crack in case they need to find their way back to the train. They come upon some police officers and Cyclona promptly shoots them all, and White Girl beats the shit out of her with a stick for disobeying her. They finally make it over the border into Mexico and spend the night in a hotel. White Girl complains that she hasn't been f@cked in over two years, and finally gives into Cyclona's advances. Hot lesbian sex ensues in the shower and the bed, as they drink and huff.

They next day they go shopping and enjoy the town of Tijuana, where White Girl makes money by returning to her false prostitute shtick. They see a poster of Sister Gomez, and are ecstatic to have found her. They visit her, where the cross-dressing nun recognizes Cyclona as "her little movie star". She says that she can help Cyclona get rid of her "angry demon", and White Girl her "hungry demon" as long as White Girl continues to steal from johns and gives the money to the Sister's mission. She takes Cyclona away to begin her treatment, and says that White Girl must feed her hungry demon until it is full and then it will go away. White Girl eats a whole pig and is not allowed to throw up, she is then locked in a room for the night. As she's leaving to steal money she sees Sister Gomez giving a sermon to a room full of children and heir parents. When she returns, the children are gone. Hearing faint cries, she walks into the basement as sees the children standing asnd crying in the dirty room. She tells them to run. She finds Cyclona hanging from some straps and frees her. Cyclona says that sister Gomez forced her to watch as she chopped up kids and made them into food that she was gong to feed to White Girl to make her fat, and then she in turn would make fajitas out of White Girl. Sister Gomez also made her watch videos of her as a little girl being molested by lots of men. White Girl realizes that that is why is was called "movie star" because she was forced to be in pornos. She says that Cyclona was right to kill her parents and now they must kill the other people.

They go upstairs and shoot all of the parents and people involved with the business, and White Girl, after discovering that Sister Gomez is a man, beats her intensely with her gun, and then puts her in the oven. After crying with the discovery and understanding the root of her psychosis, Cyclona begs White Girl to kill her as she doesn't want to go back to jail. White Girl reluctantly agrees, crying as she shoots Cyclona in the head. The police who have been following them now burst in, where White Girl is waiting for them. Surprising them, she puts her gun to one police officers head, and says she will kill him unless they agree to make a deal. They agree to let her go, as none of the married johns she robbed will press charges, and she did good by rescuing the children. Her lawyer/pimp then offers her food, but she declines, saying she "ain't hungry no more". The movie is over as he carried her off, White Girl laughing because she is free.

Damn, this movie is really over the top, just full of taboo subject matter! White Girl and Cyclona are excellent characters, and Natasha Lyonne and Maria Celedonio both do really good jobs. I especially loved Natasha, and she is super hot and was a bad bitch this whole movie. I loved her style and her sexy deep voice, especially when she was cussing someone out. Maria did a really good job of acting like a nervous, sympathetic psycho. This movie is pretty low budget, but very enjoyable, if you like this sort of thing (and I do). Recommended!
