I really hope that those guys don’t kill those police because it will mean more police will come. Possibly even Christians, which is totally the last thing we need in this house.

Nude Tuesday

Nude Tuesday    [trailer]

A suburban couple goes to a new-age retreat as a last ditch attempt to save their marriage. Their path to reconnection is riddled with hilarity and humiliation as they seek to find themselves and each other.

I was worried that the 'adding subtitles to an invented language' thing might turn out to be too silly to carry a whole film. But it turned out to be quite funny.

I think that especially the two lead actors playing it entirely straight strongly contributed to that.

The language itself could easily pass as a Swedish.

I also commend the courage of all the actors to commit to the nudist part. Especially Clement who was a bit more guarded in this previous nudist film.

WATCHLIST 2022: What We Do In The Shadows

The Breaker Upperers (2018)

New Zealand’s unique brand of humor is on full display in The Breaker Upperers, a surprisingly charming comedy that makes great use of the lead actresses' chemistry. Shouldn’t be too surprising as stars Madeleine Sami and Jackie van Beek also directed and wrote the picture. This is the kind of movie someone else would remake thinking it could be adapted for other territories with ease, but wouldn’t work at all with someone else at the reigns.

Jennifer (van Beek) and Mel (Sami) run The Breaker Upperers, an agency that helps people break up with their significant others. If you want to end your relationship so definitively that the other person will never even think of calling you to "talk things out", they’ll tell your partner you got eaten by an animal while disguised as police officers to make it seem legit. When Mel becomes close with one of their clients - a seventeen-year-old dummy named Jordan (James Rolleston) - this new relationship threatens their partnership.

This movie leans into the inherent stupidity of the premise. The story takes place on the North Island of New Zealand and the Breaker Upperers' clients assume they’ll never bump into their exes ever again. Equally as stupid are the female entrepreneurs, who haven’t realized that eventually, someone will spot the officers/lawyers/moms/other women just hanging out doing something completely different than what they’re supposed to. Although you’re unsure if the clients suggest the elaborate - and flimsy - lies that will “set them free” or if The Breaker Upperers are coming up with their own material, it doesn’t matter. Anyone should see past these charades but they don’t, which makes it hilarious. More than once, the illusion is broken and then, what can Jen and Mel do? The only thing they know, which is to keep digging, keep lying. If they get lucky, they might hit China and get off Scott-free.

Cringe humor occasionally follows the gags, which might not be everyone’s cup of tea but is necessary to the story’s success. It’s fun to laugh at these antics, but upon closer imagination, there’s something very sad about these characters. They work for the worst cowards imaginable; the kind of people who would leave their spouses or families without having the guts to face them. As it’s pointed out to them, people are getting hurt and although they might not admit it, the lies are affecting Jennifer and Mel too. There’s something deeply unfulfilling about their lives, which is why Jen is still obsessed with “the one that got away” and Mel is entering this relationship with a man she’s got no business being with.

I’ll give the movie extra bonus points for resisting the urge to turn the leads into a couple despite one of them being bisexual. This is a story about friendship and seeing these two messy people eventually start to figure things out is endearing. You might even call it a bit moving. The moments of heart perfectly complement the many big, memorable laughs. It isn’t going to be everyone's cup of tea but if you like The Breaker Upperers, it’ll be a new favorite.

Netflixable? Kiwi Cute and Clever -- "The Breaker Upperers"

“The Breaker Upperers” is a rude and rowdy Kiwi comedy about two friends who run a service that helps people get out of hard-to-end relationships. Written, directed by and starring by Madeleine Sami and Jackie Van Beek and a crew that have the deadpan drollery and imprimatur of Taiki Waititi — who produced — and Jemaine Clements –who’s in it — these “Upperers” are pretty much guaranteed to…
