Mikeyboy

Friday, November 1st, 2013

Genre: Comedy

Release Year: 2013

Runtime: 90

Language: English

Director: Chris Berkenkamp

Plot: “Mikey Boy” tells the story of a pizza boy from Queens whose life is turned upside down when he learns he must travel to Albania for an arranged marriage. Mikey Boy sets out on a quest around the world with his best friend Robin to win his American girlfriend back and avoid getting married in Albania.
In a case of life imitating art, imitating life, with the soon to be released “Mikey Boy”, the lines are seriously blurred. Written, produced and starring Mike Dusi, the film is as autobiographical as it gets. We’re almost in classic Woody Allen territory here, by way of Albania, but with more charm and heart than you find in most of the indies being churned out today.
