There will be laughs
aplenty on Jan. 13 as Olive Films brings the DVD debut Kevin Hart’s The
Big House: The Complete Series and both DVD and Blu-ray editions of
director Alfredo De Villa’s moment-of-crisis comedy, Fugly!, starring John
Leguizamo.
Kevin Hart must downsize
from his Malibu digs when his father is sent off to the “Big House” for some
funky financial dealings. Off he goes
to stay with his poor relations in Philadelphia (not exactly Malibu).
Yvette Nicole Brown,
Keith David and Faizon Love co-star.
John Leguizamo stars in Fugly!
as comic sensation Jesse Sanchez, who has an unexpected crisis in his
life (an OMG moment), which gives him a different prospective on just how
messed up he’s become.
He suddenly
realizes just how much he has tossed away over the years while climbing to the
top, including love and friendships, and now he feels that is time for him to
put it all back together again (and that won’t be easy).
But for Jesse, there’s no
“wall” between his “real” life and his stage work, so his efforts at both
romance and comedy blend into heartfelt feelings and performance art, which
creates some terrific comedy bits.
Rosie Perez, Radha
Mitchell, Griffin Dunne and “Brat Pack: alum Ally Sheedy co-star.
