Anything Goes is a 2011 Canadian dark comedy directed by Bruno Marino. It stars Sean Kaufmann, Vanessa Broze, Saffron Cassaday, Todd Thomas Dark, Scott Cavalheiro, Andrew Priestman, Brian Mifsud, and Daniel Faraldo. The film centers on the attempts of Westley Little to reignite his girlfriend's affections by any means necessary.[1]
Synopsis
[edit]Westley Little, a meek and mild insurance broker, sets out to impress his girlfriend, Jennifer, with a surprise romantic evening. Unfortunately, he gets shut down and is left feeling embarrassed and exposed. In an effort to win her affection, he plans a weekend getaway in cottage country for them and some friends. This time, however, not only do his plans go off track, he learns a devastating piece of information about his girlfriend, that she's cheating on him with her boss, James, who also happens to be up at the cottage with them. This piece of information sends him over the edge and he decides to enlist the help of some old friends to stage a break-in. Hoping that he can play the hero and impress Jennifer, things go terribly wrong when at the last minute one of his friends can't make it and sends Rick, a shell-shocked war veteran in his place. The weekend getaway doesn’t go as planned, and instead is chock-full of unfortunate, and morbidly amusing events.
Release
[edit]Anything Goes premiered on August 24, 2011 at the Isabel Bader theatre to a sold theatre. It won Best Picture at the Moving Image Film Festival in Toronto the following October. On December 4, 2012, Anything Goes was released in Canada by Entertainment One and was made available on Rogers, Telus, Manitoba Telecom Services (MTS), SaskTel, Shaw Cable, and iTunes.[2]
