Wedgerino (2015)
There are offbeat comedies, and then there's Wedgerino. Melodramatic best friends and roommates Carl and Larry have no job prospects and an angry new landlord demanding rent, when a charismatic stranger comes up with a plan to solve their financial woes. The brilliant idea? Fight each other in a boxing match so they both get paid. But will battling in the ring drive a wedge between best friends? Unique characters, sharp dialogue and a distinct brand of humor may split a crowd, or cause you to split your sides in laughter.

2015. Comedy.

    Beautifully absurd
    I loved this story. It made me laugh in unexpected ways. The absurd dialogue was very refreshing. The actors were also convincing. The filmmaking simultaneously makes fun of film convention while embracing it. We were entertained, and I've been recommending this to friends who are weary of the usual way approaching comedy. You don't realize how much freedom there can be in a comedy until you see something like this.
