A Little Help poster
5.4

It's a movie for everyone whose life has been thrown off-course, out of whack, or simply not turned out the way they planned it. In other words, it's a movie for everyone, period. Set in suburban Long Island in the summer of 2002, with the psychic wounds of 9/11 still fresh, A Little Help is a story that takes a comic, searching and profoundly empathetic look at a few pivotal months in the life of dental hygienist Laura Pehlke (Jenna Fischer)-an ordinary woman whose life suddenly flies off the rails-and her heroic efforts to re-establish a sense of security and normalcy for herself and her son.

Meet the Creeps, Vol. 1 poster
NR

A hidden-camera comedy that puts unsuspecting people in the cross hairs of comics Jim Florentine, Don Jamieson, KC Armstrong and their band of hilarious predators. In Meet the Creeps, Florentine and Jamieson are out to make people as uncomfortable as possible while capturing it all on camera. The viewers are in on the joke. Those who they are creeping out, are not. There are no happy endings to these pranks. We never reveal to our victims that it was all a big joke. Each bit fades to black as the viewer wonders what the f*ck just happened!
