Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Desperate Teenage Lovedolls
Kitty Carryall and Bunny Tremelo are two down-and-out musicians who reunite at a Greyhound station in Hollywood, CA, determined to start a rock band. After struggling with drug addict friends, a pesty mother, a girl gang called the She-Devils, and homelessness, they turn to panhandling and busking. While doing a reendition of a KISS song, they meet Johnny Tremaine, a sleazy record producer.
Before long, Johnny offered them a record deal--and has sexually abused Bunny and exploited both girls. But their hit single "Legend (Come On Up to Me)" becomes a hit. Soon they're living in a fancy mansion and receiving numerous royalty checks. The girls have it all now. So they decide to get even with the evil Johnny Tremaine. Johnny certainly doesn't see it coming.
