Kabluey (2007) 7/10

Starring : Lisa Kudrow, Scott Prendergast, Christine Taylor
Director : Scott Prendergast
Running Time : 87 mins

With her husband fighting in Iraq, Leslie (Prendergast) is forced to contact her inept brother in law Salman (Kudrow) to help her take care of her badly behaved sons as she can’t afford day care, but when Leslie decides that Salman needs to start pulling his weight in other ways, she forces him to take a job as the mascot for her company, handing out flyers on the motorway.

This is a very downbeat movie that has Prendergast being treated incredibly badly by his sister in law, even though he is doing his level best to help her out. The ending was perfect, with a more realistic conclusion than the expected Hollywood ending, and the scenes with Prendergast in the giant blue suit really make this very watchable without being too sickly sweet.
