Confusions of an Unmarried Couple


Confusions of an Unmarried Couple is an Indie film produced by Substance Productions (SubProd), a production company based in Toronto. The film is a comedy that follows characters Dan and Lisa trying to figure things out after a bad breakup. The Hollywood theater in Dormont is holding screenings of the film from Saturday, March 27 to Tuesday, March 30. The film's creators Jason and Brett Butler will be in town for the Saturday screening along with Naomi Johnson (Lisa).

For me, the film got off to a little bit of a slow start. The real comedy and storyline kicks in once the characters start interacting. A warning to anyone easily offended by language: you might want to skip the screening. Though it's a little strong at most points, the language used is what added to the humor of the film. The soundtrack was very good and was all original work (songs and score) written by Ryan Noel who is part of the SubProd crew. I searched for any other music Noel has done, but failed to find any so it doesn't look like he's pursuing a music career at the moment. Between the good music and humor of the film, I would definitely recommend checking it out!

See Confusions of an Unmarried Couple at the Hollywood Theater and meet the Butler Brothers this Saturday at 4:30pm. It will also be showing Monday 3/29 at 7:00pm and Tuesday 3/30 at 9:30pm. The Butlers and Naomi Johnson will only be at the Saturday screening. The cost for all shows is $6. Check out some of SubProd's other projects on their website including their web series Larry and Burt's Gut Rot.

  1. So I watched this movie and I have to agree that at first I was like WHAT?? but then it got good and actually quite funny. I do not think all the F-bombs were needed, kinda took away from the humor of using them. And some of the scenes like the jacking off scene were a bit awkward and might have been better if they were a little more cut up and disguised.

  2. I agree, there were definitely a few awkward spots!
