Opening at IFC Center in New York & VOD on October 18
“Weird and wonderful. The best ‘Saturday Night Live’ movie that ‘Saturday Night Live’ never made. The most pleasant surprise of this year’s Sundance.”
– Peter Debruge, Variety
“Pretty freaking funny. Franz Kafka meets Serial Mom meets Edward Scissorhands somewhere on the edge of whatever alternative universe The Lobster was set.”
– Leslie Felperin, The Hollywood Reporter
“Comedy gold. A maniacally manicured satire of the upper-middle class suburban lifestyle. It’s fun and fucked up in the best way possible.”
– Marisa Mirabel, Birth. Movies. Death.
“DeBoer and Luebbe have comedic instincts sharp enough to cut diamonds — and they’ve given us a jewel. They show that sublime visual beauty can
easily accompany belly laughs.”
– Christian Blauvelt, Indiewire
Synopsis
In a day-glo-colored, bizarro version of suburbia where adults wear braces on their already-straight teeth, everyone drives golf carts, and children magically turn into golden retrievers, soccer moms and best friends Jill (Jocelyn DeBoer) and Lisa (Dawn Luebbe) are locked in a passive aggressive battle-of-the-wills that takes a turn into the sinister when Lisa begins systematically taking over every aspect of Jill’s life—starting with her newborn daughter. Meanwhile, a psycho yoga teacher killer is on the loose, Jill’s husband (Beck Bennett) has developed a curious taste for pool water, and Lisa is pregnant with a soccer ball. That’s just the tip of the gloriously weird iceberg that is the feature debut from writers-directors Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe, a hilariously demented, Stepford Wives-on-acid satire destined to be an instant cult classic.
