When she hears about the problems the friend is having with her boy friend (Michael Walker), she ends up dating him and ending her friendship.

A Gem

OCL is one of those small independant films that I am constantly recommending to friends. Min (Sara Browne) has just been fired from her job at a Deli and has just found out her boyfriend is having an affair with her room-mate. So she finds herself without a boyfriend, without a place to live and no job. Her best friend Jaz (Astrid Grant) finds her a place to stay and a new job..."Now only if we can find you some regular sex you can walk down the street without a bag over your head". Min has also got a sick father to deal with and she is always on the phone to her mum about him..."You found his thermometer where ??? Bulls**t!!!". OCL is a film that deserves repeat viewings and the cast is excellent, especially Sara Browne, Nicholas Bishop (as Min's sexually adventrous new room-mate) and Lisa Denmeade (as Claire, her foul-mouthed friend). Highly recommended.
