Dave (David Hewlett) and Andrew (Andrew Miller) are the bestest buds. They were picked on at school and hence decided to join up to somehow survive being losers. Dave just basically has no concept and get trodden on his whole life. Meanwhile Andrew is afraid of the outside world and has locked himself at home. Dave and Andrew live together making a perfect match, where Dave deals with the outside world with Andrew providing for the inside...
Everything goes awry in this perfect life when Dave decides to move out with his girlfriend. This initiates a short sequence of events that ends up with Dave and Andrew cornered at home with two squadrons of police, a demolition crew and a lying little scout outside. With nowhere to run and hide the duo wish away the outside world - only for them to get their wish... All that is left of the world is their house and a big nothingness of tofu.
The movie is mildly funny with some exquisite lines in there (with 'We're not dead! We have cable!' to cherry on top). Problem with the movie is that its a one gimmick movie. And the gimmick doesn't really fill in the ninety odd minutes of the film, which would do just fine as a semi-long short film. The jokes really run out quite fast and the serious parts aren't deep enough to make the film intriguing in the obvious direction. Albeit the actors have a nice chemistry going you get bored with the plot quite quickly. The script tries to lengthen the duration, but does so with a big hit to its end quality.
All in all - brilliant at times, but ultimately disappointing.
