I don't understand WHY this movie didn't play in theaters. I LOVED it. With all of the raunchy mindless comedies out there today, this one surpasses them all in terms of humor and intelligence. The writer/director, John DeBellis, used to write for SNL and was a popular NY Stand up comedian. I can see comparisons to Woody Allen, but DeBellis takes more risks and the results are outlandish and HYSTERICAL. T.R. Knight is wonderful and dead-pan. Barbara Feldon, Danny Aiello, Joe Piscopo, Mary Birdsong, Tony LoBianco and Mario Cantone are all comedic veterans and add provide non-stop laughs. There are two scenes in the movie that will have you near-suffocating from laughing. One involves T.R. and twins (I won't reveal the surprise) and the other is T.R. with The Godmother of Sex, Tristan Carrasco. Any fans of "The Godfather" movie will be on the floor wheezing. I wish DeBellis could make a whole film with T.R. Knight and Ms. Carrasco based on this scene. I wish there was commentary from the cast and crew on the DVD. I don't know how they didn't burst out laughing while they made this film. Would love to hear them all interviewed.
