      Audience Member Slightly less intellect than a Coen Brothers film, this film has an admirable effort with a couple impressive moments of comedy. With a better studio behind it, it could have had cult potential. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic! Fun and never boring, if you are a fan of Thomas Berger, you will enjoy this movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Rarely (if ever) funny film about a feud between two families from nearby towns fuelled by a series of misunderstandings and false conclusions. Complicating matters is the budding romance between the kids of the two families (one a 13-year old girl who could easily pass for twice that age). I never figured out why one man was acting like an ape during the film. The kind of movie that I suspect would garner awards at an independent film festival for its offbeat story. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A simple mistake that takes a life of its own sends rivalling families in neighbouring towns escalating into a full-blown feud. A bit of an offbeat and dark-toned comedy which had some potential but not quite enough to make a full go of it. Will appeal to some.
