Rock, Paper, Scissors: The Way of the Tosser (2007)
Offbeat Comedy at its Finest
I just caught this film and was really entertained! It is, in my opinion, a well thought out and solidly crafted comic gem. The acting is top notch. One can't help but warm to the quirky yet extremely lovable characters that the cast created. I loved the little snippets and glimpses of the city of Niagara Falls (where I was born and raised and still currently reside) particularly the training montage at local gathering spot Fireman's Park. It was also refreshing to hear tracks from local artists like KAC Himself and Frank Pietrangelo on the soundtrack. Being a musician & songwriter I definitely appreciate people from local artistic communities supporting one another. I've heard the film compared to things like Napoleon Dynamite and Flight of the Conchords but I have to say that RPS is head and shoulders above these - and, as an added bonus, it's actually funny! It is absolutely impressive and inspiring to see such a quality film coming from a homegrown talent. It has definitely made me take notice and I look forward to seeing GravyTrain (the follow up by the filmmakers) and any future projects they put out. I would definitely recommend this film to anyone that wants to watch an off beat, independent comedy with a lot of heart.
