Storyline
Plot Summary |
Twenty-one year old Sammy Smalls has self-esteem issues. She hides behind her frumpy clothes and the slight limp she sustained from a childhood illness. She works in a dead end job as an undercover shoplifter detector at a Big Apple Food Town, her boss Dirk who has his own brand of vigilante justice for the shoplifters. And she considers her parents, although loving in their own unique way, not good role models for her. She doesn't like people touching her in an emotional manner, the ticklish feeling she gets from such being yet another thing behind which she hides. As a result, she is sexually inexperienced. However, she does have a crush on Eugene Zaslavsky, a busker musician who performs outside her supermarket. Each considers the other a friend, but their attempt to take the friendship into a sexual realm results in utter disaster. Although they vow to remain friends, Eugene won't sleep with her again due to her sexual inexperience. So Sammy goes on an expedition for advice and sexual experience from whomever and where ever she can find it, except from Eugene. Eugene, not fully realizing it, also has self-image issues with which he must comes to terms before he can be a true friend and possibly more to Sammy. Written by Huggo |

Did You Know?
Trivia | The main character in this film lusts after the singer of a band called NO FUN. The movie was filmed in British Columbia, partially in Surrey. There is a Surrey band, active since the 1970's, called NO FUN, which is often referred to in the area as "The Beatles Of Surrey", and I am its singer. I can assure you that the movie is in no way based in reality, though I do know the director/writer. See more » |

Eugene Zaslavsky:
My mom ended up cheating on my dad. He was heartbroken and she was miserable. That's why she got cancer. If that's love, you can count me out. See more » |
