This
is a thinking mans comedy which gets its laughs from intensely clever
dialogue rather than from slapstick style humor. If you enjoy the
comic rantings of Dennis Miller, then you are going to love this
movie.
The
story centers around Dante (Brian O'Halloran), a convenience store
worker who is awaken early one morning by his boss who wants him
to open up the store on his day off in place of another employee
who called in sick. The boss promises to be in to relieve Dante
by noon as Dante has a hockey game at 2PM. Being the responsible
type, Dante agrees.
The
day starts off with Dante unable to open the shutters due to gum
shoved into the locks... and goes downhill from there. He has to
deal with guys dealing drugs in front of the store, someone trying
to keep people from smoking, a guy looking for the perfect dozen
eggs and so on.
You
might think this sounds boring, but trust me, it's not. The witty
dialogue between Dante and Randall (Jeff Anderson) the guy who works
at the video store across the street is priceless. Soon you too
will find yourself pondering the fate of the independent contractors
working on the Death Star.
Oh,
and try not to get sick when you find out what "Snowballing"
is.
