The story of an eccentric socialite with a knack for pulling off hopelessly wild adventures who struggles when she finds herself disowned by her millionaire father and abandoned by her teenage son, The Trouble with Dee Dee is a new take on parents and children that frustrates, amuses and warms the heart. At once shocking and endearing, Dee Dee overcomes her rough exterior to draw people in with her childlike joy of life and her heart of gold. The movie attacks our knee-jerk reaction to write people off when they don’t adhere to accepted social norms, by enticing us to stick with a character we might otherwise have turned away, with a feeling that we might be pleasantly surprised.
