siderite David Hewlett wrote the script for this film, where he plays a slightly mentally challenged weird guy living alone and having to contend with his sister (played by his real sister) bringing a fiancée on Christmas. Some of the guys in Stargate Atlantis also helped, although only Paul McGillion has a major part.The film is fun, a bit silly, feeling more like a 3 person play + extras rather than a movie. Its biggest problem is that the script is pretty predictable and the laughs are at the expense of a character who has enough trouble going through life as it is, without people taking advantage of his issues. Any number of things could have gone wrong in real life and that makes suspension of disbelief really difficult while watching. When you laugh, you know you laugh because you are watching a comedy, not because you are "inside"; it would be pretty scary actually feeling inside the script, otherwise.Bottom line: I am not really the comedy type; I've watched the movie because of David Hewlett. As such I can't comment on how funny the film is. Other people might enjoy it more, I found it frustrating, but perhaps because I understood the main character a lot better than the "normals" in the film.

Kdvb1 I thought the movie was brilliant! Is it a horror film or a comedy or both? You decide! Patrick meets his soon to be brother-in-law Ryan for the first time, and he does NOT like him. It is English humor and slap-stick comedy at it's very best from the cricket bat to the karate fight to the ax scene.I just die laughing every time I watch the part where Patrick(David Hewlett's character) is yelling, "Dance, Monkey, Dance!" and then runs around screaming like a girlie girl. It is scary how well he does that! Anytime you get to see David Hewlett wearing nothing other than a little rubber ducky...you gotta smile! It's done tastefully for the laugh and yet is still a great family film. There are a few scary scenes and they rated it PG-13...so not for the little kiddies...but wonderful for the older ones.Will Marilyn get to marry her man, or does Patrick get away with murder? You'll have to watch and see! *evil grin* Kimberly aka Kdvb1

tuskinini45 I have to say that this is absolutely my favorite movie. I love David Hewlett's acting and the acting of his sister, Paul, Chris, and Rachael. All of the actors in this movie due a great job of making the laughter nonstop.A great movie to watch with teenagers and with families to poke fun at how strange families really can be together.The main character played by David Hewlett continually cracked me up, and made me think of what it would actually be like to have a brother. The movie may have few cast members, but those who do act in it certainly pack a punch. It was well worth downloading from itunes, but you can also purchase it through amazon.com

sea_otter8 I thought this movie was fantastic. I loved the silly, physical humour mixed with the dry macabre humour. I couldn't stop laughing through the whole movie. I especially enjoyed watching the acting talents of Mars the very talented dog. He was always right on the mark and showed a wide diversity of incredible talents throughout the movie. I think everyone should watch this movie. It's one of the best I've seen!!Good job to all the cast (including the adorable doggies) and crew for making such a fantastic and enjoyable movie!
