Relive the 80s With "Totally Awesome"

Posted Nov 1st 2006 6:44PM by TMZ Staff

We're not entirely sure what watching Chris Kattan make out with Dominique Swain has to do with the 80s, but that's the clip the good folks at VH1 sent us for their new 80s spoof movie "Totally Awesome."

From the co-creator of "Chapelle's Show" (and writer of the stoner classic "Half Baked"), "Totally Awesome" is a send-up of all the cheesy 80s movies we all know and love. The plot is so straight out of the 80s, Molly Ringwald should be in it.

First, the biggest loser in school falls for the most popular girl and decides the only way to win her love is to beat her boyfriend in the school Decathlon. And, not to be left out, the biggest loser's sister (played by Dominique Swain) is dismayed to discover that dancing has been banned her town (sound familiar?).

In this clip from the movie, Swain's character makes out with the school's janitor and former dance instructor (played by Chris Kattan) who invites her to attend secret group dancing lessons at his house.

In addition to Swain and Kattan, the movie stars Tracy Morgan, Mikey Day, Nicki Clyne, Brittany Daniel, James Hong and Ben Stein.

"Totally Awesome" premieres November 4 on VH1 at 9PM and will available on DVD on November 7.

Dominique Swain's Balancing Act

Posted Sep 28th 2006 12:53PM by TMZ Staff

"Lolita" star Dominique Swain was once again causing a controversy at Wednesday's Stuff magazine party at the Arclight in Hollywood.

Swain, who was cast at 15 to play the lead role in the provocative 1997 film "Lolita," appeared to be really, really exhausted as she needed assistance in maneuvering her way up the stairs of the parking garage. Swain missed a step and almost bit it big time.

Luckily, her friend allowed Dominique to lean on him as they made their way to their car, where autograph hounds awaited the wobbly star for her John Hancock.

Swain, despite her extreme level of tiredness, obliged their requests, but seemed to have difficulty focusing and maintaining a firm grasp on the pen. Don't you just hate when that happens!

Once the impromptu meet and greet was over, the duo made their way out of the parking structure.

Here's hoping Dominique, who was safely ensconced in the passenger seat, was able to sleep off her, er, drowsiness.
