MOVIE SYNOPSIS: This sweet and spirited
adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew is a
romantic comedy about a feisty sex toy sales party
organizer named Tammy (Sarah-Jane Redmond) who is
happily single, much to her ailing father's dismay.
When she moves home to take care of old man Burt
(Gary Chalk), he takes advantage of the opportunity
to set her up with an ideal marriage candidate--the
VP at his company. Unfortunately (for Tammy's dad
anyway), the VP is more interested in her openly gay
brother Tristan. Tristan has also struggled to get
his dad's approval in a different way: his current
boyfriend Lucas just isn't deemed good enough to
gain Burt's acceptance.
As Burt becomes increasingly eager to get his
way, he declares that no one can date his son until
his daughter is dating someone. In order to win
Burt's approval to date Tristan, Lucas schemes to
set Tammy up with the ruggedly handsome ex-boxing
champ Sy (Aleks Paunovic). Sy is easily bribed into
pursuing Tammy when Lucas offers him a chance to
perform his original--and much loathed--songs at the
local bar. And so the fighter's entertaining battle
to win Tammy's affection begins. But, is he tough
enough to take on Tammy?
Director Tracy D. Smith's first feature is witty
and engaging, filled with clever scenarios, and some
fabulously terrible song lyrics that you'll love to
hate.
