Hilarious But Dark Trailer for Danny McBride-Produced Film DONALD CRIED

There aren't too many guys who walk the line of Dark Comedy better than Jody Hill and Danny McBride. Both Eastbound And Down and Vice Principals were acclaimed for their use of mixing comedy with the dramatic and the outrageous, and Donald Cried looks to capture that same feel both shows pull off so well. Here's a description for the film...

Director/writer/star Kris Avedisian expertly deconstructs the contemporary obsession with the "man-child" in this darkly funny story about former childhood best friends who reconnect decades later in their working-class Rhode Island neighborhood. Peter Latang (Jesse Wakeman) left his childhood home to reinvent himself as a slick Wall Street mover and shaker. When he's forced to return home to bury his grandmother, he loses his wallet on the trip. Stranded and broke, Peter looks to the only person he can think of to help him out—his next-door neighbor and former childhood friend Donald (played by Avedisian). The ever-eccentric Donald hasn't changed a bit, and what starts as a simple favor turns into a long and unhinged van ride into their past. Avedisian’s pitch-perfect first feature is a brilliant twist on the family-reunion melodrama and the classic buddy comedy. 

Early reviews for the film said it's an indie film at heart, but it has its moments and will keep you entertained. I have no doubt that with the guidance Avedisian had, I'll be on board with it. The film will show in theaters March 3rd.
