DAY 17: PRICE CHECK WITH PARKER POSEY
|
| Price Check (official trailer)
Pete Cozy (Eric Mabius) is the uninspired supermarket manager offered a chance to double his salary by boss Susan Felders (Parker Posey) in exchange for his loyalty-which he's unable to refuse. But as she begins to worm her way into his personal life, Pete realizes he must decide which sacrifices he's willing to make for financial security.
This black comedy takes the all-too-familiar setting of a boring office building and turns it on its head, demonstrating how passion can sometimes overwhelm instead of inspire.
Eric Mabius scheduled to attend tonight's screening
at 6PM at Harvard Exit!
