In his first film, The Suburbanators, Canadian director Gary Burns took sharp comic aim at the meaningless, numb lives of a group of Canadian suburban teens. This sophomore effort focus on the same social group, offering a fast and funny take on upper-middle-class gatherings, comparing a teen beer-bash to it's adult counterpart, the dinner party. Because his parents are attending the latter fete, Scott decides to host his own soiree. Unfortunately, his mother is super-uptight about having a pristine home, and so he calls it a kitchen party. Kids from all social groups show up, including Scott's sweet girlfriend Tammy. Meanwhile, his anti-social brother Steve hides out in the basement and listens to loud rock music. The adult party across town goes swimmingly until everyone gets pie-eyed and they become involved in a series of minor accidents outside the local liquor store. Things turn ugly when Scott's father off-handedly suggests that another father's son is a homosexual. Back at Scott's house, things take a similarly downward turn when Tammy goes off with the mysterious Steve. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Hijinks ensue when a group of Canadian teens attend a party at their friend Scott's (Scott Speedman) house in this quirky comedy. The funniest bits feature Scott obsessing over maintaining his parents "perfect" home and the extremes to which he goes, and his friend Les' dilemma concerning his father's car. Less entertaining are the subplots involving the parents and Steve, Scott's bad boy older brother. Director Gary Burns made another comedy I enjoyed, "Waydowntown" (2000) featuring a group of office drones taking part in a wacky bet.
