Peroxide Passion

When his wealthy fiancée, Ashley (Karen Travis), dumps him at the altar and runs off with a Mormon man to Salt Lake City, poor Jersey guy Jed (James Tupper) teams up with ambitious, voluptuous sex hotline talker Mimi (Lorri Bagley) and crooner Johnny Pompano Jr. to break up the union. Will Jed win back Ashley's love? Monty Diamond produces and directs this screwball romantic comedy, while Billy Campion and Aasif Mandvi co-star.

Directed by Monty Diamond, Peroxide Passion leans on a strong ensemble — James Tupper, Lorri Bagley, Aasif Mandvi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2001.
