Cody and Judy are a modern couple. They love and tolerate each other but definitely have their aspirations as far as the future is concerned. Judy wants Cody to advance at his company while Cody has his eye on an attractive female co-worker, Elizabeth. As luck would have it, Elizabeth and her husband are giving a high-profile party. Judy is delighted, as she wants to be seen and heard in a place that counts. Cody is also happy because he may get his opportunity with Elizabeth. The trouble with Cody is, however, he says and does almost anything he wants to do, and not always with good manners or tact. As the party goes on, Cody finds a way to insult the almost-fiancé of a beautiful but husband-desperate girl, a television evangelist, and other party goers. How could this possible advance his career or win him points with Elizabeth? The plot here is almost non-existent, as most of the film is Cody talking to the party attendees or into the camera itself. A good deal of the humor is, as one can guess, sexual in nature or candid put-downs of modern existence. Some of it is funny and some of it is offensive. However, there is a certain originality expressed, as Cody truly offers opinions that fly in the face of modern decorum. Then, too, the film's running commentary format and scene slicing has an offbeat quality that is fresh and fun. This film will have its fans, no doubt, as any interesting indie film would. But, for those who want to play it safe, especially where offensive material is concerned, this is not the film for you. Instead, fans who want to see a sample of independent film making, without serious objections, might want to try My Big Fat Greek Wedding, My House in Umbria, or Greenfingers.
