BFF's

BFFs (US; 2014; 90 min.)

Director: Andrew Putschoegl

Two friends pretend to be more in this witty and insightful comedy. 

Kat and Samantha have been best friends for most of their lives. But when Kat’s mother --- who doesn’t know that she’s broken up with her boyfriend --- surprises with her with a couples weekend program, Samantha suggests they pretend to be a lesbian couple and use it as a vacation. What they didn’t expect is for the workshops to be so immersive and revealing.

Legendary character actress Pat Carroll --- who has worked with stars like Danny Thomas and Carol Burnett in her nearly 70-year career --- is a delight as Kat’s mother, Joan. The cast also includes Eric Lively (of TV’s “The L Word”) and Richard Moll (TV’s “Night Court”).
