Synopsis
When Adam (Craig Chester, also the film's writer and director) and Steve (Malcolm Gets of TVs CAROLINE IN THE CITY) first meet in the 1980s, Adam is a full-fledged Goth, all eyeliner and morbid posturing, while Steve is a sparkle-covered disco queen. Even so, the two are magnetically drawn to each other, and Steve offers Adam his very first dose of cocaine. Cut to seventeen years later. Adam, now a recovered cocaine addict, finds himself in an emergency room with his beloved pet dog, whom he has accidentally stabbed. As fate (and movie logic) would have it, Steve is the doctor assigned to treat him. Though they don't initially remember one another, the magnetic pull has remained, and the two find themselves building a relationship. Meanwhile, Adam's best friend Rhonda (the always delightful indie queen Parker Posey), dumpy and obese in high school, who has transformed herself into a stylish and thin stand-up comic, begins a relationship with Steve's straight housemate, Michael (former Saturday Night Live regular Chris Kattan). The road to lasting love is, of course, filled with potholes. Misunderstandings, strange relatives, fear, and doubt all crystallise into dramatic plot points, both humorous and serious. One of the most hysterical scenes occurs the first time Steve dines with Adam's family, a group of accident-prone Jews, each of whom is nursing a different injury. All four leads are charming, and choreographed dance sequences delight with their modernisation of a classic generic style.
From The Studio
Having shared quite possibly the most excruciatingly embarrassing night together in cinematic history at the back end of the 1980s, Adam (Craig Chester) and Steve (Malcolm Gets) part company and don’t look back. Fifteen years later the pair meet again and fall in love, not recognising each other from their earlier encounter. After a year together overcoming their neuroses--of which there are plenty thanks to that fateful night--the penny finally drops and it is too much for Steve, who calls the whole thing off. Adam is left heartbroken and it is up to their two friends, the formerly obese stand-up comedienne, Rhonda (Parker Posey) and stoner serial-seducer Michael (Chris Kattan) to try and patch things up. Can the pair learn to get past their embarrassment? Will Adam’s family curse finally break? And will Rhonda realise she is no longer fat and that she needs some new material?
