Fortunately, it includes all the clever dialogue, exaggerated body suits and subversion of capitalism we've come to expect and love from the Oakland filmmaker behind Sorry to Bother You and . Starring Keke Palmer, I Love Boosters follows a "Velvet Gang" of women who steal high-end fashion from stores and resell it at lower prices."

The plot follows a 'Velvet Gang' of women who steal high-end fashion from stores and resell it at lower prices.
