| 09.30.09 | Alamo South Lamar | This Screening is part of event: FantasticFest 2009 I was told a dark version of The (british) Office. I don't really get The Office reference much unless they just mean British humor , but I definitely see the dark. A father and son are apparently in the midst of a court case against them. The dad seems to be the head of some sort of criminal organization in which the son is a part. He lives with his parents (the mom is more or less pure evil). Things get worse from there. I liked this film quite a bit. I couldn't get over how much the son looked like Bob Saget BUT ONLY FROM CERTAIN ANGLES. It was pretty weird, but undeniably true. I also loved the dad (and am aware that the father and son are really father and son, which is pretty cool) and really all the performances were very strong (which completely made the film). Not sure what else to say really. Very effective well-made film! Oi guvnor bloke mate! Why don't you learn some chords, son!? Ah, regal England |
