Risqué TAMING TAMMY at the Vancouver Film Festival
October 10th, 2007 by Andre Soares
Jennifer van Evra on the Vancouver International Film Festival at the Toronto Globe and Mail:
"While many Vancouverites were giving thanks and tucking into turkey dinners with their loved ones on Sunday [Thanksgiving in Canada takes place on the second Monday in October], Tracy D. Smith’s family — including her ‘very traditional’ parents who drove in from Penticton — were watching people win massive dildos and other sex toys at the world premiere of Smith’s film, Taming Tammy. A modern-day adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, the comedy centres around a sex-toy-party organizer who refuses to settle down, and the filmmaker marked the occasion by doling out several racy door prizes. Not surprisingly, some winners were a little reluctant to pick up their loot, said Smith at a packed after-party at Chivana. But actress Anne Marie Loder bravely accepted her rather grand prize, which was reportedly the first thing she had ever won."
