Barry Munday (2010)
7/10
Poor Barry and His Trumpet-Bashed Balls!
19 July 2021
Oh, baby, where to begin with this outstanding indie effort??? The cast is stellar, the story is fun, and the dialogue will make you wet yourself, I bet!

So, Patrick Wilson plays Barry Munday, an average everyday kinda guy - which means he is super horny - who forgets a one-nighter with Ginger Farley (Judy Greer) with the expected result due nine months later. You'll love Ginger's overwrought family played by the lovely and talented Chloë Sevigny, the grimly enthusiastic Malcolm McDowell and the G-for-Gorgeous Cybill Shepherd! I mean, DANG! Cybill Shepherd, y'all! You'll also appreciate watching Billy Dee Williams as Lonnie Green and Barry's understated hippy mom, Carol, played by Jean Smart.

The best part of this picture is Barry's sense of responsibility toward his unexpected offspring - though he questions Ginger's across-the-hall neighbor (obviously a stalker of some kind), he never questions the right thing to do. Love that, man, 'cause babies matter!

Watch this film, but be prepared to feel all warm and fuzzy and really, really awkward from time to time. Such is life, my friend!
