Almost Friends

Comedy

Once a promising young chef, Charlie (Freddie Highmore "The Good Doctor") is now an unmotivated twenty-something who lives at home with his mom (Marg Helgenberger, "CSI") and stepfather while working at a movie theatre and living vicariously through his friend, Ben (Haley Joel Osment, "Silicon Valley.") His life takes an unpredictable turn however, when he finds himself falling for local barista Amber (Odeya Rush, "Goosebumps," "Lady Bird.") Problem is, Amber has her own distractions- her mooching roommate (Jake Abel, "Love & Mercy,) a track star boyfriend (Taylor John Smith, "You Get Me") and steadfast plans to move to New York. On top of that, Charlie's estranged father (Christopher Meloni, "Law & Order: SVU") unexpectedly re-enters his life just as he begins to take a long, hard look at where he's going and who he wants to be. With conflict after conflict piling on, will Charlie reach his tipping point or will he finally find the path forward?

Punch-Drunk Love

Comedy

Winner of the Best Director Prize at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival, "this misfit love story of disconnected people trying to find one another in an antagonistic world is a comedy of discomfort and rage that turns unexpectedly sweet and pure." Adam Sandler gives an amazing and unusual performance as Barry Egan, a socially impaired owner of a small novelty business, who is dominated by seven sisters and is unlikely to find love unless it finds him. When a mysterious woman comes into his life, his emotions go haywire, fluctuating between uncontrollable rage, lust and self-doubt. "Punch-Drunk Love leaves you addled, a little dizzy and overcome by a pleasing, unplaceable sensation." "A romantic comedy as wonderful as it is strange that expands the genre to its absurdist outer limits and makes us believe." From the writer/director of Boogie Nights and Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love is a dark, lovely and unique film experience.
