David Munro: Full Grown Men at Cosford Cinema
Local director David Munro's first film is the winner of the 2007 indieWIRE: Undiscovered Gems Film Series Audience Award competition. Full Grown Men is the beautiful, funny, sad story of Alby Cutrera, a hopelessly adolescent man whose wife kicks him out with an ultimatum: "Don't come back 'til you grow up." Rather than do some much-needed soul searching, Alby goes looking for his childhood best friend to take a road trip to the one place on earth he knows will make no adult demands: Diggityland. His friend Elias has grown up, however, and he remembers a less rosy version of their childhood. Namely, one full of taunts and humiliations as Alby's fall guy. Thus begins a journey along which the two men meet a cast of fellow failed romantics including cameos from Alan Cumming, Amy Sedaris and Debbie Harry. Each one pokes a new hole in Alby's delusions of the golden days of youth. Without some regressive therapy, Alby is stuck. It's only by exploding the land mines of his past that he can move forward into his future. The film begins at 6 and 8pm at Cosford Cinema on the second floor of the Memorial Classroom building on UM campus. Cash only. Call 305-284-4861. http://www.com.miami.edu/cosford
