One cliché after another that fuels some awful acting. There is a lame attempt at a lesbian relationship, that would make any lesbian cringe. The programmer keeps trying to hit on the heroine, her partner, the sheriff. There is a hurricane and the probability of a nuclear plant meltdown, yet the 'maintenance man' is more concerned with eating and his lunch break - right up to the last five minutes of this disaster. A woman gives birth in a barn in the middle of a hurricane and immediately thereafter is able to run briskly up the road to a house as if she had just made toast where she, the sheriff, and the clueless programmer are met with, "oh a baby!" I won't waste the reader's time writing about the dreadful writing, acting, editing, production (de)-values in this waste of film. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

I saw "Jason's Big Problem" at the 2010 New York International Independent Film & Video Festival, with a raving audience. It reminded me of a spoof film from long ago, "If You Don't Stop It, You'll Go Blind". Well-written and perfectly-cast, it started with big laughs, and built from there. My sides hurt by the end credits. Jason's transformation from shy, somewhat nebbishy guy, to in-demand stud, was superbly handled by Matthew D. McCallum. His two co-workers, played by Christopher Halladay and Kalani Queypo, provide some of the biggest, grossest laughs, but all in good fun. This film is not for the prudes, but if you have an open mind, you will definitely be "LMAO"! Enjoy!

The writer/director based the story on a very old premise: boy meets boy, each fall heavily. Then, the 'troubled' transsexual sibling of one of them inserts her/himself into the guys' early courtship. To muddy this setup further, one half is a French national who enters into a 'Green Card' wedding with a not-too-cooperative lesbian friend.

From incredible bliss one moment, to a 180-degree flip of one half, falling for every ploy by the transsexual sibling, without any questioning at all. The broken-hearted other half just pines tearfully, his entreaties to his other half completely ignored.

The siblings represent the worst stereotypes: vain, flighty, young queer, with no moral center. Troubled transsexual who is a leech, a thief, and a vicious liar.

This script could not have been saved by a good director. Whatever acting capabilities possessed by this crew, are completely absent in this production.

Painful to watch, don't waste your time.
