An aimless 23 year old who has yet to leave home attempts to prove his self-worth by tracking down his childhood love and convincing her to be his date for an upcoming family wedding. Darryl Strozka was breast fed until he was five years old. As a young boy, his classmate Sarah was the love of his life. These days Sarah is a B-movie starlet, and Darryl seems locked in a state of arrested adolescence. When Darryl gets invited to his cousin's wedding and learns that Sarah is shooting a movie in nearby Moon Point, he convinces his best friend Femur to help him get to the set, and score a date for the big event. Trouble is, the only transportation they've got is Femur's electric wheelchair. Along the way, Darryl and Femur encounter an eccentric array of wanderers and misfits ranging from a scrappy young hitchhiker (Paula Brancati) to a recovering alcoholic in a banana suit while learning just what it means to get a second chance at life. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Ham & Cheese director Warren P. Sonoda takes the helm for this caustic conceptual comedy detailing one Christmas in the lives of an outrageously dysfunctional 1980s-era family as seen through the lens of their brand new VHS video camera. Christmas 1985: Gord Cooper (Jason Jones) has decided to go all out this year, purchasing an expensive video camera for his wife Nancy (Samantha Bee) so the couple can document their holiday with the entire family. Nancy is several months pregnant with their latest child, and seems unusually excited by the fact that Gord's sleazy brother Tim (Peter Keleghan) will soon be arriving to take part in the festivities. Uncle Nick (Mike Beaver) might just be the world's worst dinner guest, and the polar opposite of the group's anti-social grandmother (Jayne Eastwood), who lives with the Coopers and requests that they simply slip her portion of the holiday dinner under her bedroom door. The yuletide festivities have never been as gloriously grating as they were at the Cooper's place back in 1985, and thanks to their then- state of the art video camera, they were able to capture every agonizing and humiliating moment for eternal posterity. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
