Institute History
Description
Wisegirls is brimming with a Noo Yawk pizzazz and style. Mira Sorvino heads a great cast as one of a trio of waitresses who manage to survive in a mob-run restaurant in an outer borough of New York. And although this genre may seem familiar, director David Anspaugh infuses these characters with spirit and has elicited some sparkling performances. With the cumulative energies of the multitalented Sorvino, a dead-on acting spot by Mariah Carey, and another strong turn by Melora Walters, Wisegirls is a fun twist on an underworld universe that is sexy, sharp-witted, and terrific entertainment.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
