It all starts when Lilly embalms the school mascot, crashes her father's car into her mother's tombstone, and ends up trying to help William kill himself. From there things start to get more complicated.
The Failures is a sad, but surprisingly funny, romantic comedy about a group of messed-up miss-fits.

After my last post, I needed something clever and I came across this:
The common cliches of modern British Cinema: the gangsters with wads of casth the eloquent drug addicts, the romantic comedy with Hugh Grant and the token American female costar, the period piece in which a young, fragile female must decide between love and money, and of course there's the coming of age piece in which the lead tries to break out of his hum-dum existence by becoming a cross-dresser.
They're well-worn and at the very least recognizable.
Unbelievably British, written and directed by Christopher Nicholson takes a humorous approach to these cliches.
It's a smart film, and I hope you enjoy!
Check out this 2008 SXSW feature, from the always funny Ulterior Productions, "Mano-A-Mano."
The SXSW Film Showcase is now only a mere 30 days away, so in preperation I'll be bringing you some of my favorite films screened at last year's festival.
Today, I'm starting off with a short film directed, writen, produced, and starred in by Jeffrey Brown. "I Slammed My D*ck In the Drawer" is the harrowing tale of a yound man, a drawer, and his dick.
(And on a side note, I've had a chance to speak with Jeffrey a few times; he's not only incredibly funny, but also really freaking cool.)
So enjoy folks!
I'm a big fan of this short film from Portable Film Festival. Written and directed by Craig Rosenthal, "The Trainee" is an ironic short filled with dark humor. Sunny Pang and Serena Sim lead the cast. Check out more from Portable Film Festival here.
