Lucky, not your typical dad, runs a coffee shop and has a difficult time dealing with the idiosyncrasies of his two deadbeat sons. Ernie, the oldest, is a wannabe pimp and street hustler, forever searching for the perfect angle. Chip, the baby, is unemployed with a passion for French fries and underage girls. This is frowned upon by the pious, slightly unorthodox, parish priest who does his best to interact with the members of his flock, assisting them at times in ways that may surprise you. He kills them! 'Turn from the Serpent,' he advises, 'swim in the Blood of our Savior! Resist temptation!' Sounds like good advice. -- (C) Official Site

Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru
Bold, wickedly funny and quietly suspenseful. An outrageously entertaining, smartly-directed guilty pleasure with exquisite production values.
