Only the other night, Ken (Andrew Morra) has picked up Sydney (Lennon
Sickels) at a bar and took her home to have drunk sex, but this morning,
with them waking up next to one another, things couldn't be more awkward,
and not only because she says the sex was lacking, it's also because
there's absolutely no chemistry between them, she doesn't find him
charming and does find most of his jokes offensive - which is when he
tells her he has got a solution to all her problems: A wormhole in his
bathroom that might lead her to a better version of the universe. Now of
course, she doesn't believe him at all, but since she's also a theoretic
physicist minor she has to admit it's theoretically possible. Then he
disappears into his bathroom, and when he emerges again, he's not himself
anymore but a Ken from another timeline where he and Sydney have been a
couple for three years now and who has no idea about wormholes - and after
some convincing, Sydney's actually convinced that the other Ken isn't
playing a bad prank on her but this Ken is actually another Ken ... when
yet another Ken shows up, a Ken that has made wormhole-travelling to his
favourite pastime, especially since the concept of good and evil doesn't
exist anymore when a timeline breaks up in two every time someone makes a
decision, so for example if he decides to kill somebody that would
automatically result in a parallel time where he decides against it (in
theory at least). So he ponders whether to kill the other Ken, slice him
up and feed him to Sydney. Needless to say, this messes up the situation
quite a bit, but what really derails it is when another Sydney shows up as
well ... Now given this whole movie is entirely set in one
apartment and only features two actors (if in more than one role), one
might be tempted to call it a bit over-ambitious for trying to make a
comedy about theoretic physics within these constraints - and yet, the
film does remarkably well thanks to a pretty ingenious and well-structured
script full of sharp and poignant dialogue and an utter refusal to ever go
the pretentious route. On top of that, a spirited directorial effort keeps
things visually interesting throughout while the actors play it straight
and remain relatable and thus add some believability to their at times
pretty out there lines. And all of this makes a very entertaining and
pretty unusual film.
