The Gist: Written by Jody Hill, this is about self-control, perseverance, integrity, indomitable spirit – that’s what it’s supposed to be all about at the Concord Tae Kwon Do Studio, where boys are turned into black-belts and suburbanites are chiseled into great warriors, all under the proud tutelage of proud sensei Fred Simmons. That is, until Fred discovers his wife has been unfaithful and instantly descends into a blubbering mess.

Fact: David Gordon Green discovered main actor Danny McBride, in 2008 we’ll see him in three comedies Drillbit Taylor, Pineapple Express (DGG) and Tropic Thunder.  

See It: Low budget comedy played at Sundance. Bruce Lee would have been proud!

Release Date/Status?: Paramount Vantage releases the film on April 11th.
