DVD PICK Pizza from IFC Films
Why name a film
Pizza? Well, it's probably neck and neck with the
hamburger as the world's most popular food. It's also the food we
enjoyed on many a first date.
The first date in this case is about as odd as they come. Cara-Ethyl
(Kylie Sparks) is a chubby, awkward, brainy young lady celebrating her 18th birthday.
Matt (Ethan Embry) is former high school hotshot turned 30-something slacker - now
the world's oldest pizza delivery boy - who can't commit to anything but pizza.
In fact, Matt worships the pizza. "Pizza is my buffalo," Matt explains
. "The Sioux had The Buffalo; I have Pizza. It provides for all needs."
When making a delivery to Cara Ethyl's house, Matt discovers that she is the only
guest at her own 18th birthday party. Touched, and sensing a kindred spirit, Matt
invites Cara- Ethyl to join him in his truck as he makes his rounds. During their
long night together, these mismatched misfits reveal themselves to each other in a
series of comic adventures that teach them how to separate life's winners and losers.
. . the wheat from the chaff. . . the cheese from the crust.
The DVD includes a featurette entitled A Slice of Pizza and commentary
from the director Mark Christopher.
