Andrea Wachner graduated from SoCal’s Palos Verdes Peninsula High School in 1995, but hated it so much that when her 10-year reunion came along, she hired a stripper named Cricket to impersonate her and attend in her place, all while talking to her on an earpiece and filming the whole thing. Because apparently, Andrea Wachner takes a what-would-an-80s-sitcom-do approach to life. The result was a 40-minute short film and the six-minute trailer you see above.
“I Remember Andrea” wasn’t picked up by the film festivals this go-around, but Wachner did find a manager who took interest in her project. They are shopping it around as a reality TV show or a narrative feature. [AbcNews]
It’s a funny idea and an interesting video, but I’m a little put off by girls (because it’s usually girls) who think they were the only ones who hated high school. Omg, no way, you were, like, so over it? I never would’ve guessed. It wasn’t ’cause we date raped you that one time was it? I’ve been meaning to apologize for that. What am I saying, you probably don’t even remember it.

Not that i won’t be spurting into a tube sock later tonight thinking about Cricket or something similiar to that effect, but if i were going to hire a stripper to pretend to be me, he would look a lot like Ryan Reynolds.
That would be funny if you knew i looked like Andy Dick IRL.
She could have saved herself some time, set her Facebook occupation as “billionaire astronaut,” Photoshop some pictures of her and Carrie Underwood and start tracking down all of her high school ex-girlfriends like a normal person.
At first I though that Cricket is a terrible name for a stripper, but they do rub their legs together as a mating call, so I guess it’s ok.
she hired a stripper named Cricket to impersonate her and attend in her place
I sent actual crickets to my reunion. Thirty boxes full. Take that, douchebags…
She got that nickname by the way she deals with aggressive patrons at the strip club.
Her full name is Jimmy-Knee Cricket.
Andrea hasn’t changed a bit. She was always so chirpy!
I’ve always wanted a stripper I could command via remote control. “Stroke up, now down, up again – slower – SLOWER! Now, dip the brush in the paint again and head back into the corner – you missed a spot by the window.”
Talked to her through an earpiece? Wait a second… HAHA! I knew it. I knew I wasn’t crazy. Now I just have to find who told me to set that pet shop ablaze. Puppies, you will be avenged!
Guys are always trying to play Cricket by getting their balls in between her wickets.
A cricket that swallows snakes? Now I’ve seen everything.
I thought Crickets rubbed their legs together. My bet is that her legs are never together.
This was an episode of “Taxi”, I believe…
Wait, wait, they are on the pole. My mistake.
Well, I feel relieved. All night I was fighting the urge to chloroform you and stick you in my trunk and I just couldn’t figure out why. Now that I know you’re a stripper, it all makes perfect sense!
No insex in the champagne room!
Hey, I hated High School every bit as much as this broad but when my 10 yr reunion came around I took the lazy man’s way out. I didn’t fucking go.
I want you all to know that I will have sex with you in the champagne room. Thats a promise.
Who remembered Andrea best? Katydid.
Eibz, you are such a giver!
You can hire strippers?
seriouspost: 1995? Reunion in 2005? It took her 4 years to sloppily cut together this piece of sh-t?
