The Buck Rules The Buck Rules

Director: Sam Lennox

Year: 2006

The Buck Rules is a black comedy which follows the lives of five social misfits whose movie infatuated lifestyle has been thrown into turmoil by the depletion of their 'easy money' trust fund. Hillary, Lyle, Edwin, Stevie and Ronald Mcdonald break down their choices into these options: kidnapping, illegal goods production or armed robbery. All of them must face the very things that drove them to a life in front of the television. With the quest for funds underway, we follow each group member as they attempt to complete their phase of the operation. We meet Edwin's grandfather with his alleged Mafia links, Lyle's foul-mothed little brother, Hillary's crazy father and a traumatised Rent and Repent video shop employee named Humpty. When these characters are combined with a machine gun, an oversized grinder and an elephant cannon, the Vernon Vault's chances of keeping its assets intact are greatly reduced.

As their friendship blossoms into an unexpected romance, they must decide whether to take a chance on love. With sharp humour and touching moments, FRANK AND PERCY is a heartfelt life affirming tale that proves it’s never too late to love again.

Although Judith performs again, her freedom and artistic expression prove fragile.
