Nuts
Synopsis
Nominated for two 2006 Independent Spirit Awards—the John Cassavetes Award and the Someone to Watch Award—this modern relationship comedy follows a romantically-challenged trio of twentysomethings (Mark Duplass, Kathryn Aselton, Rhett Wilkins) on a farcical road trip to deliver a giant purple recliner as a birthday gift. Along the way, relationships are tested in the context of set pieces like an impromptu wedding, a motel scam gone wrong and a run-in with a belligerent upholsterer. Co-written by Mark Duplass and director Jay Duplass, brothers and New Orleans natives. Ebert and Roeper have both given Puffy the “two thumbs up!” cinematic seal of good viewing.
