IN THE LAND OF MERRY MISFITS

Comedy

For any who have ever felt that they don't quite fit in, or who have a hankering for the strange and off-kilter, this campy romp is a perfect fit. This madcap film tells the story of a young college graduate who takes a wrong turn on the way to win back his girlfriend, and finds himself stuck when his car breaks down in the wacky, woodsy town of Bethany. Confronted with a colorful realm inhabited by jester-esque junkies, kitschy cross-dressers, would-be knights and other "misfits," our button downed hero can think of nothing but getting out of this freak-show town. Unfortunately for him, the mechanic is just as unhinged as the rest of the town and has been unable to fix a car for years. With no way out, our hero gets sucked into the misfits' medieval role play, and in a twisted take on an Arthurian legend, is quickly declared the Chosen One-and these misfits certainly need a champion. In refusing to conform to the town's conservative standards, the misfits have long been tormented and belittled by the White Demons (the cool jocks). With the arrival of the Chosen One, however, the misfits boldly embark on a quest to capture "The Grail of Popularity," engaging in a battle to defend the unpopular and secure the right to live their lives as they see fit. Writer-director Keven Undergaro creates a world that may seem far off and strange, but the issues within are strangely familiar. Regardless of which side you may be on, Misfits is sure to get you riled up!
