Ottawa Premiere the Week of November 13th!

Kyle and Mike are best friends who share a close bond – until Mike sleeps with Kyle’s fiancée.

4/4 Stars! “inspired filmmaking…is an exhilarating anomaly, if not a wake-up call for the visual potential of heartfelt comedy…has Covino making his own mark with cinematic ambitions that promise a career worth keeping a close eye on.” (RogerEbert.com)

4/4 Stars! “a sharp and hilarious comedy…one of those comedies that so feels so effortless, like a natural progression of events, that it’s easy to overlook how much intelligence and craft that went into it. Covino and Marvin demonstrate that they could be the next great movie comedy team” (The Movie Cricket)
