Overview: Gwen (Samantha Westervelt) and James (Amanda Drexton) are two broke, self-absorbed, emotionally stunted 30-somethings, eking their way through a meager LA existence.

They’ve tried everything to get rich quick from cliche artistic endeavors and failed business startups to sex work, playing the victims all the way.

When Gwen realizes she forgot her older sister’s baby shower the night before, she’s determined to save face in front of her family and get her sister a proper gift ... from the registry.

After putting their heads together, Gwen and James assemble a list of people they believe owe them money and set out on a twisted road trip across Los Angeles in an attempt to collect on their debts. What begins as a journey to confront the ghosts of their pasts quickly shifts gears as Gwen and James realize maybe they’re not the victims after all - maybe they’ve just been throwing themselves a sour party!

Featuring hysterical performances from Reggie Watts (Comedy Bang! Bang!), Corey Feldman (The Lost Boys), and Christopher Rodriguez Marquette (Barry), this female-led comedy in the vein of SUPERBAD will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt lost in their life.

Blu-ray Verdict: In what is a refreshing breath of cinematic comedy for the here and now, the new movie Sour Party is a delightfully chaotic, yet at times dramatic feature that if you play along with the premise will ultimately visually and tonally reward you.

The chemistry between the two female leads Gwen and James is spot on believable from the start, the two actors bringing their respective comedic tones to the fore from the very off.

Actually, something I found out afterwards is that Samantha Westervelt - who plays Gwen - is a very accomplished bass guitarist and has played with the bands Death Valley Girls and Egg Drop Soup. Not that any of that musical endeavor comes to the fore here, but I thought it was worthy of a mention.

Anyway, as aforementioned, the movie is definitely chaotic, but not enough to jerk you out of the running plot line - the classic stoner structure of trying to hustle for some cash to pay for something before the end of the day - nor the subcurrent that is always there, albeit it not picked up on by the girls until nearer the end.

Oh, and the Nic Cage shrine/statue is something truly to behold and just goes to show that the great man doesn’t have to be physically in a movie to still impose his greatness upon it!
