2021 * Not Rated * 1h 21m This was a bit different than I was expecting. It's sort of a dark-ish comedy that could very easily been written for the stage. I wasn't really familiar with any of the actors, but they all not only did a great job, they played off each other perfectly. Very believable performances. The stars include William Baldwin, Teri Polo, and Mena Suvari.
The story revolves around the parents of kids attending a catholic elementary arts school. Which is kind of funny right there. They're all called to a meeting at the school because a brick of marajuana has been discovered in the classroom. So they need to hash out (pun intended) who's responsible for the drugs, and how to deal with it.
The group includes just about every stereotype you'd expect. And of course, they immediately begin bickering. They start slinging insults and barbs and the meeting comes close to spinning out of control. I thought the dialogue was quite amusing and it held my attention right to the end. And the conclusion put a smile on my face--which is all I ask for when it comes to little indie gems like this!
3 1/2 out of 5 stars
