Director: James Ricardo
Writer: James Ricardo
Cast: James Ricardo, April Wade, Ute Werner, Jesselynn Desmond, Samantha Turk, Mark Wood
World Premiere
”Sunnyvale” held no appeal for me. I gained nothing from its showing.
A whining loser with the wilted personality of the manically depressed robot, Marvin, from “Hitchhikers guide to the Universe,” Ricardo lives off his uncle, lives on junk food, and thrives on porn. Lost in this milieu of drugs, sex, and stupidity are three women who enter his life, the effort being painfully droll. I found the film to be slow and uninspired. The “popping” from scene to scene became too much very quickly. “POW!” let’s go here – POW! Let’s take the audience there…snap black snap black snap black. It was a treatment of transitions from hell. But then, I'm only one insignificant voice of no consequence garbled over the muddled waters of film. See it at your own peril.
Rating: 1 out of 5 Feathers
