So, as director Monty Miranda introduced the film and mentioned having shot it in Denver, I will admit I was distracting myself in trying to spot any friends from a half lifetime ago, but there was Marcus Waterman, playing the foul-mouthed "Mr. Nam", shouting obscenities at 5th graders! THAT was worth the price of admission! (I also spotted Patty Figel, in the non-speaking role of a mother, and Mark Rubald and Tupper Cullum were in the credits, though I did not recognize them during the film.) Anyway, the film itself is a nice little comedy about a writer, charmingly performed by screenwriter Spencer Berger, who realizes that his talent does not lie in playwriting but in robbing people. His uncanny ability to just walk into an establishment and successfully insist on getting their cash, also acts as an aphrodisiac for the women, and in one surprisingly successful comic performance, his best friend played by Brian D. Phelan, who also produced the film. Phelan gives one of those rare performances as "the asshole best friend" that you do NOT hate by the end! He delivers the obnoxious character with such sweet charm that you not only forgive him, but look forward to his next faux pas! Thankfully, there is not a moralizing resolution and the film maintains its lightness through the end. It is a fun time! http://jaycbird.blogspot.com
