Homewrecker

A guy trying to live the straight life meets a seriously bent woman in this independent comedy. After a stretch in prison, Mike (Anslem Richardson) wants nothing more than to put his life back on track. He's enrolled in a work release program, has a steady job as a locksmith, and is trying to convince his girlfriend to give him another chance. However, what seems like an ordinary day on the job takes a dramatic left turn when he gets a call from potential customer Margo (Ana Reeder). Margo is a foul-mouthed and over-excited woman who is convinced her fiancé Charles (Stephen Rannazzisi) has been unfaithful to her. Margo hires Mike to break her into Charles's flat so she can find incriminating evidence against him; Mike develops a guilty conscience about being part of Margo's scheme, so he contacts Charles and tells him what she's been up to, which only makes a sticky situation worse. Written and directed by the sibling team Brad Barnes and Todd Barnes, Homewrecker received its world premiere at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
