I saw this movie at the St. Louis International Film Festival in November 2006 and loved it! Our main character, Gavin Tartowski, starts a support group that doesn't discriminate against anyone's affliction. It's the funniest mocumentary on support groups I've ever seen...OK so it may be the only mocumentary on support groups I've seen, but had me cracking up the whole flick. Who knew that wearing your pants too tight, the urge to run over things while driving, wearing wrestling masks and huffing laundry soap could cause problems? If you enjoy the "Best in Show", "Waiting for Guffman" and "This is Spinal Tap" type movies, you will certainly enjoy this movie!

"Big Chill" for the kids of the 80's!

Caught this movie at the St. Louis International Film Festival, and loved it! The cast was great with Eric Stolz giving the best performance in my opinion. The movie starts the day after a big blow out party. Our core group of friends are facing the task of cleaning up the house and revisiting all the highlights from the night before. I'm sure it may hit home with people in their mid thirties - am I where (or with whom) I should be? What would my life have been like if past events happened differently? In the end we realize that sometimes you have to revisit the past in order to appreciate your present and move on to your future. The director was at the festival and was great with the Q&A after the screening. I hope this movie will get picked up for a wider release. Good Luck!
