Filled with improbable circumstances and over-the-top quirky characters, Fuddy Meers directed by Carol Stavish is an A+ comedy guaranteed to keep you entertained all the way through.
It is like the movie Fifty First Dates gone awry with escaped convicts, a crazy puppet, and a confused woman in the midst of it all trying to make sense of the nonsense.
Claire wakes up in the morning to find herself a blank slate surrounded by wacky characters who tell her she has psychogenic amnesia and forgets everything when she goes to sleep at night. The characters she encounters in her quest to find out what happened to her include Richard, her husband with a dark past, Kenny, her teenage son with drug problems, Gertie, her mother who recently had a stroke and cannot put one coherent sentence together, Millet, a convict with a puppet that has Tourettes, Heidi, the claustrophobic cop, and a mysterious limping man who claims he is her brother who has come to rescue her. This all leads to a messy, confusing entanglement that is hilarious and completely enjoyable.
The actors are great. They put comedy into every minute of their performance. The set has a very clever use of space. I recommend this comedy to anyone who just wants to have a good laugh, but I don't recommend it to children because of Binky the puppet's offensive language and some drug use.
