Press

The best thing about PLOTZ is how it seemingly goes off in random directions once the duo hits the road. You don’t expect to hear a certain joke or expect to see the story go off in a specific direction but it surprises you by doing this exact same thing. This is what makes Plotz so entertaining; it has the ability to constantly surprise you by one upping you at every turn. Throw some subtle comedy and jabs into the mix and you have a film that is hilarious every second of its runtime.
