young sean mcnutt (will keenan of tromeo and juliet and trick) is a love-lorn waiter whose life is spinning out of control. he's being driven insane by his beautiful ex-girlfriend who's ditched him for the greasy charms of a smug yuppie; by his parents who want him out of their house; by a limited acting career that has him playing a less-than-super hero at kids parties; and by his job waiting tables at broccolett's italian bistro, a mafia-run south philly restaurant where the customers are relentless, the staff demented, and the infamous owner has all but lost his mind.
what's a luckless guy to do to reclaim his dignity and get his life back on track? sean has a plan, but that quickly spirals out of control and leads him into s & m, blackmail, torture, bribery, begging, drunken sex, marijuana bread, penetrating corkscrews and a can of not-so-tasty shaving cream!
writer/director patrick hasson's award-winning indie comedy is chock-full of pratfall humor, decidedly un-pc characters and hilarious dilemmas. and who would want to miss a film that teaches the timeless "4-second rule" of kitchen etiquette that you'll think about every time you see a meatball on your plate?
