Special Screening including a Q+A with the director.
Matt is a 29 year old slacker that works part time at his best friend’s famous older brother’s Cambridge Laundromat. Despite not being in his dream job Matt has a seemingly good life. He has a lovely long-term girlfriend Kelly (whose dad Phil conveniently owns the tavern), a tight knit group of mates, and a local tavern which keeps him entertained.
The Tavern is a run down, eye-sore frequented by few customers with only the annual stripper night drawing a crowd. When Matt and his mates enquire about the date of the stripper night, Phil tells them that it won’t be happening this year. He’s set to sell the pub to slick Ponsonby property developer Vick Preston who plans on turning it into an upscale food court called IFD (International Food District).
After a few beers Matt and his mates hatch a plan to buy the pub (with the blessing of Phil who ‘gives them a week’) with a series of bizarre fundraising ideas that test the strength of their relationships.
