Good Dick (2008)

Watch Trailer

Cast: Marianna Palka, Jason Ritter, Tom Arnold, Mark Webber, Martin Starr

Rating: R

Running Time: 85 min.

Synopsis: When a lonely young girl named Anna walks into her local independent video store in search of an erotic film, the clerk behind the counter vows to transcend her emotional barriers and win her heart in this quirky relationship comedy written, directed by, and starring Marianna Palka. Though the lovelorn clerk in question (Jason Ritter) is a bit of a creep and perhaps even a potential stalker, the contentious relationship forged between the pair as he repeatedly seeks Anna's affections (and is continually shot down) eventually leads to an unusual, yet wholly unavoidable, confrontation that offers offbeat insight into the state of modern romance.

Off beat and well done, with unpredictable characters and unconventional situations. The movie does not wrap it all up in a bow but makes the audience work a bit to imagine what really makes these characters tick.
