 SPLICEDwire | "Trixie" review (2000)
Trixie is a wide-eyed woman whose deepest personality traits are her gnawing Chicago accent, her grinding of huge wads of bubble gum and her seemingly endless supply of mixed metaphors, mangled idioms and other malapropisms.
An amazingly natural and ever-resourceful actress, Watson is a strong enough anchor to keep the audience interested in Trixie long after her mangled verbal missives have gotten tiresome and the movie has gallops off into nonsense.
She speaks such volumes of character with the slightest inflections that just the way she wrinkles her nose in dim but determined squints hints at Trixie's whole lifetime of being slightly out of sync with the rest of the world and her frustration with not really understanding why.

 Chicago Reader Movie Review
Trixie is dominated by the heroine’s constant stream of malapropisms—she uses one just about every time she opens her mouth.
We’re given no clue as to why she’s so inept with language, though some explanation might have enabled us to connect this characteristic with other parts of her personality and background; the trait almost appears to be glued on.
Trixie doesn’t have this sort of range, and due to its self-conscious, stylish 40s-noir references, it can’t function very clearly—as Breakfast of Champions does—as a commentary on contemporary American life.

 The Trixie Foundation :: Appalachia's Animal Protection Organization
Later, in September of that same year--with his devotion and commitment to his animals as strong as ever--surely it was with the protective, guiding hand of God that led him to find the little, empty house in the woods.
It was then, at that very moment, that he pledged to himself and to his recently departed Trixie, that just like he had found and rescued her a few years earlier, he would now do the same for other unwanted, abandoned, and abused animals--all inspired by her precious memory, all in her name.
Today, The Trixie Foundation is increasingly making a name for itself both regionally and nationally as the organization to watch--the organization that will most likely change the way all animals are treated throughout Appalachia--not just in Kentucky.

 Movie (Metro Times Detroit)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Trixie’s persistent use of mixed metaphors and mind-boggling malapropisms runs throughout the film — unfortunately, it’s contagious.
To make matters worse, Watson plays Trixie as an infantilized gun moll, a maniacal gum-chewer who spits out her lines in a Depression-era Chicago accent.
Nearly lost in the mix is really terrific work from Nathan Lane, who gets to camp it up as a Rich Little-style lounge singer while also turning in one of his warmest onscreen performances, and the spitfire Brittany Murphy as a past-her-prime Lolita anxious to recapture her glory days.

 Waiting for Trixie Belden
The series has been out of print for years, depriving a generation of readers from becoming enchanted with Trixie Belden, a girl detective from the fictional town of Sleepyside, N.Y., her best friend and mystery-solving partner, Honey Wheeler, and the five other teenagers who make up their "semi-secret club," the Bob-Whites of the Glen.
Trixie wasn't beautiful, she struggled in school and she occasionally jumped to the wrong conclusions during her investigations.
So far, only the first four of the 39 Trixie Belden books are scheduled to be re-released -- The Secret of the Mansion and The Red Trailer Mystery in June, The Gatehouse Mystery in July and The Mysterious Visitor in August.

A rake named Dex Lang (Dermot Mulroney, tactless sinew) is irresistibly drawn to Trixie's naïveté and creative wording (she sees that he's "a real statue of Adidas"), while she takes a shine to Ruby Pearli (Brittany Murphy, sass incarnate), a street-smart barfly of questionable repute.
There is a mysterious murder in Trixie to drive the plot along, but the point here isn't focusing on who did it, but rather watching Trixie pursue justice "by hook or by ladder." Her instinct so overpowers her intellectual prowess ("Inside, I'm outgoing!") that she's almost a female version of Peter Sellers in Being There.
Trixie nicely fits this mold, and even if your knee remains largely unslapped (mine was stinging), you can't help but catch Rudolph's philosophy: "Hey, nobody's human." Private DefectiveAlan Rudolph's Trixie is happily stuck between a rock and the deep blue sea.
