2B tells the the surreal story of Frank (Adam Trese), a young man who loses all the trappings of the good life when the ad agency he owns with his partner Josh (Andrew McCarty) fails and he is forced to move home to live with his parents (Robert Vaughn and Hayley Mills). Frank then embarks on a Kafkaesque journey in his search to reinstate his standing in the material world. He spends time with Sal (John Turturro) the owner of a chess store who dispenses a bizarre tossed salad of advice. Sal then send Frank to see a she-wizard (Aida Turturro) who uses a 8 ball to see the future and also to decide whether she should sleep with Frank.
Then we come to the another part of the story, where Frank seemingly falls through a rabbit hole and enters a different world. Frank visits an old acquaintance of his father to ask for some advice. He is then sent off on a quest that culminates in a scene that is a blood and guts send-up of Scarface. There are three layers to this story that seemingly fold in on each other and it is not until the end that we can tell where we have been.
2B is fun. Everyone in the cast gives a great performance (and what a cast it is) and the script is quite clever. Telling spoofy non- linear stories is the charming genre of independent film. And to be perfectly honest myself, 2B is a jewel of a little independent film. Good job!
