The film had its premiere at the international film festival Berlinale on 9 February 2007 where it was nominated for a Teddy Award for Best Feature. It had its American premiere at SXSW in March where it won the Jury Prize for Best Feature.
The film was produced by non-profit organization POWER UP.
Anna has been rejected by her college, her girlfriend broke up with her, and her big sister is getting married. She meets Sadie, who invites her to join the Clits In Action, or C(I)A, a radical feminist group. Anna soon gets in touch with her radical feminist side.
The film was shot on Super 8 and Super 16 film to give it a grainy look. Babbit received permission from the Guerrilla Girls to use their slogans in the film.
While the writing was considered better than But I'm A Cheerleader, Itty Bitty Titty Committee was still criticized as weak and overly cliched. Also, the humor has been criticized as "juvenile", with the comment that the humor is probably intended to draw in a teenage girl audience.
Characterization was also criticized as being two-dimensional, but the portrayal of Anna's family as accepting of her homosexuality was considered refreshing.
Some critics felt that the treatment of radical feminism could have pushed into more daring political territory. TV Guide opined that the foray into radicalism was "embarrassingly obvious," and wouldn't be understood by people who didn't already like activism. The LA Weekly said that Anna's "dogmatic, undergrad feminist speeches" needed a "satiric spark," and that she "often comes off as a pill."
