Funny improvised film - But not for the family, 9 November 2002
8/10
Author: oldsow from New Brunswick, Canada

I caught this film at the Tidal Wave Film Festival in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Deborah Day explained to the attenders how the actors were given thorough background on their characters, but not a standard script. They filmed in sequence and they found out what was going on only as the film went on. There were a few plot turns and they are very believable. Imagine a interactive murder mystery, but the who done it is finding out who got Stephanie pregnant. Debra McGrath and hubby Colin Mochrie steal the show with their superb performances. It was a good cast and the chemistry worked. However, viewers should be cautioned that there is a lot of objectionable material that will limit its audience. Personally, I do not feel that it added anything to the story. With such a talented improvisational cast, it would great to see what they could pull off without resorting to profanity and nudity.
