David Anspaugh's mix of female bonding and mob drama, Wisegirls
concerns a trio of waitresses. Meg (Oscar winner Mira Sorvino),
wise-talking Raychel (Mariah Carey), and wannabe dancer Kate (Paul
Thomas Anderson regular Melora Walters) grow close while working at an
Italian restaurant. Meg begins to realize that the eatery is
mob-controlled and probably is used to sell drugs. Soon she must hide
the d body of her boss (whose "whacking" she indirectly caused).
Eventually, Meg is forced into risk her life in order to gain
information on the mobsters. This quirky, occasionally dark comedy was
screened at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival
