Home Fries
A long shot romance in a short order world.
Directed by Dean Parisot
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, Gran Via Productions
A darkly comedic romance that mixes accidental murder, family dysfunction, and unexpected love in a fast-food setting, balancing absurdist humor with genuine emotional stakes.
Dorian and Angus chase down their womanizing stepfather with a helicopter, frightening him to death. In his effort to cover their tracks, Dorian begins investigating his stepfather's mistress, Sally. She works at a fast-food drive-through, she's pregnant and Dorian quickly falls in love with her. Unfortunately, his scheming mother wants Sally dead. And Sally isn't sure she wants Dorian to be her child's father and also his brother.
