I saw Sunnyvale at the Kansas Film Festival on 9/13/05. This ultra-low budget comedy by Writer-director James Ricardo is one of the funniest films I have every seen. The basic premise is an unemployed, porn-addicted, food-obsessed loser has a very hot chick show up at his door to drop off some pot. Naturally she went to the wrong address but she keeps coming back because; well he is such a loser, knows it and accepts it. He just wants to be left alone (remember the porn?) but all throughout history girls like her have guys like him doing pretty much whatever she wants. She decides to "improve" him and try to get him a girlfriend from "Lowered Expectations" on the internet. My favorite was the Dog Lady. Her dog ran away which was such a shame after all the time she spent training him (if you know what I mean...). OK well eventually he is sleeping with three women and he can't figure out why. But as the Pot lady says, "You have no idea how low the standards are for girls out there". 'Enuf said; point taken. The writing is viciously funny. The babes are EXTREMELY hot. And the whole film is seriously twisted. I laughed my ass off. And yes I always suspected that more Republicians than Democrats are swingers.
