Set on a small parcel of land in American-occupied Afghanistan and taking place over the course of 24 hours, D.J. Paul's feature directorial debut, B.O.H.I.C.A. (an acronym for "bend over, here it comes again"), follows the bizarre events that unfold when four U.S. Army Reservists assigned the thankless task of protecting a radio tower realize that they have actually come under attack by an Afghani militia. Realizing that they're more likely to die of boredom than enemy gunfire in their barren surroundings, the soldiers settle into a monotonous routine until the U.S. Air Force mistakenly airdrops a keg of beer right next to their outpost. Hours later, after a beer-fueled day of banter and bonding, an Afghani militia descends from the mountains to wage a vicious attack. Perhaps with a little luck, the soldiers will be just sober enough to shoot straight, and live to tell their tale another day. Adam Rodriguez, Nicholas Gonzalez, Matthew Del Negro, Brendan Sexton III, and Kevin Weisman star in a film that exposes the absurdity and futility of war while paying playful homage to the men and women who feel compelled to fight it. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Love at first sight has some interesting repercussions a few months down the line in this offbeat romantic comedy. Ira Black (Chris Messina) is a wildly neurotic thirtysomething who can't get his life in gear -- the son of a pair of therapists, Arlene (Judith Light) and Seymour (Robert Klein), Ira still hasn't finished his grad school dissertation, he's been in therapy for 12 years, and can't bring himself to settle down with his longtime girlfriend Lea (Maddie Corman). When both Lea and his analyst inform Ira that they don't want to see him anymore, he decides he needs to make some changes. Ira joins a health club, where he meets Abby Willoughby (Jennifer Westfeldt), who is supposed to sell memberships to the gym but is much better at listening to people's problems. The two discover they have a strong and immediate rapport, and Ira asks Abby to marry him only a few hours later. Abby says yes, and soon the couple are wed. However, it isn't until after they've been married for a few weeks that Ira discovers Abby has been divorced twice already, and it makes him very uneasy about their relationship. Despite more therapy, Ira asks Abby for a divorce, and it sends shock waves through their families -- Arlene begins having an affair with Michael (Fred Willard), Abby's free-spirited father, while Seymour commiserates with Abby's mother Lynne (Frances Conroy), and eventually parents and children are all meeting together in group therapy for couples. Ira and Abby was written by leading lady Jennifer Westfeldt, who was also screenwriter and star for the independent hit Kissing Jessica Stein. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
