"Sunnyvale"- AKA Opie Gets Laid

2006-Apr-27 by Laughcalvin

Tired of romantic comedies where Matthew McConaughey, despite living at home and sponging off of his parents, gets the likes of Kate Hudson? Writer-Director-Actor James Ricardo's Indie Comedy "Sunnyvale" might be right up your alley: "Opie” and “Farm Boy” are the nicknames given to the main character of this film (played by writer/director James Ricardo). He’s a self-proclaimed loser who lives rent-free in his uncle’s apartment. He spends his days eating cheeseburgers, pizza and doughnuts; playing video games; and watching porn. It’s an almost ideal life ... except the only sex he’s having is with himself. Enter Thai (April Wade), an extremely attractive pot dealer who comes to Opie’s apartment under the impression that it’s the home of her overweight prostitute girlfriend. Thai takes some pity on Opie’s mundane life and tries to help him land a date. Soon Opie’s having sex with Thai; Thai’s lesbian lover, Dakota (Ute Werner); a woman named Rain (Jesselynn Desmond) who works at an adult bookstore; and his porn-loving neighbor Randi (Samantha Turk). The women are fine with the arrangement until they learn about Randi. That’s when Opie pushes a good thing to the breaking point." (Filmthreat)
