On Saturday, March 13th, "Barry Munday" a new film featuring Chloe Sevigny, Patrick Wilson, and Judy Greer, made its world premiere at the South By Southwest Film Festival at the Paramount Theater in Austin, Texas.
The film follows the trials and tribulations of the title star, played by Wilson, who tragically loses his testicles at the hands of a paramour's father, only to learn that he may have accidentally fathered a child with his former equipment before the accident. What follows is a hilarious and often heartwarming portrait of two families coming together despite their shortcomings.
The film has several guffaw-worthy moments, not the least of which is the fact that Munday loses his goods via a blow from a trumpet. When asked why a trumpet was chosen, Wilson simply responded "well, a tuba would have been over the top."
Throughout the Q&A that followed the screening you felt the pride and camaraderie of the cast and crew, a strength that comes shining through in the film. At the end of the day, it's evident that while Barry Munday may have lost his balls, he makes up for it with more than enough heart.
