Ready? OK!
Daisy 3 Pictures, USA, (91 min)

The story of Andrea, an over-caffeinated single mother and her ten-year old son, who dreams of becoming a cheerleader at a catholic school. A litany of hilarious conflicts ensues with cruel classmates, furious nuns, and his flustered mom. Matters are made worse when Andrea's twin brother comes home with ideas of making them an instant family.

Ready? OK! is exceptional. Where you expect preachy and PC, it goes for silly and slapstick. It doesn't try to be a message movie, it tries to be a funny movie and it succeeds. Dialogue gags are piled onto editing gags and topped with sight gags. They're not all funny, but they do all work - keeping the plot engaging and adding humanity to every character.

It is visibly not a high-budget film, but Hollywood hasn't come up with a sweeter and funnier comedy than this all year. Ready? OK! is a touching and terrific comedy that you will two .. four. .. six ... eight... totally appreciate!
