Wedgerino (2015)

Wedgerino: Directed by Aaron Wertheimer. With Kenny Zimlinghaus, Aaron Wertheimer, Anthony Mascorro, Julie Mann. Best friends and roommates Carl and Larry are perpetually out of work, and their new landlord is angrily demanding rent. With no job prospects in sight, all looks bleak until they meet Johnny, a charismatic stranger with a painful past. Johnny comes up with a plan to help the pair out of their financial bind: fight each other on the undercard of a boxing match in exchange for two months’ rent. As Carl grows close to the mysterious Johnny while preparing to do battle in the ring, Larry fears his bond with his best friend could be broken forever.

“I loved this story. It made me laugh in unexpected ways. The absurd dialogue was very refreshing. The actors were also convincing. The filmmaking simultaneously makes fun of film convention while embracing it. We were entertained, and Iu0026#39;ve been recommending this to friends who are weary of the usual way approaching comedy. You donu0026#39;t realize how much freedom there can be in a comedy until you see something like this.”
