Surprisingly Heart Warming
22 July 2015
This is a hard one to describe even for a Scorpio Film Releasing movie. You are getting what you think you are getting with a title like Accidental Incest. To start with this film is based on the play Accidental Incest: Someone for Everyone written by Lenny Schwartz. Lenny has written 2 screenplays for Scorpio Films prior to this (Murder University and Normal) so when the time came for his play to be translated to the screen he entrusted it to Richard Griffin. The film is about Milton and Kendra two people who can't find someone who gets and loves them until they find each other (after both suffer a near death experience). Unfortunately they find out after they have found each other that they are fact brother and sister by the same father. This doesn't stop them from wanting to be together but the reaction by the outside world is pure unadulterated horror. The film is the two stalwarts trying to navigate through the immense mine field of society they have stepped into. The film is funny, sleazy, raunchy, and surprisingly heart warming in the end. The film is at it's core about two people loving each other despite the reaction of those around them. As with every Scorpio film the acting is superb with Jamie Lynn Bagley, Michael Thurber, Jamie Dufault, Jesse Dufault, Jose Guns Alves, Steven O'Broin, and Anna Rizzo all turning in outstanding performances. The standouts though are the leads Johnny Sederquest and Elyssa Baldassarri. Their work was a revelation for me having seen them in several other films but never seeing them up their games to this level. Another personal favorite performance after Johnny and Elyssa was Aaron Andrade as God. This film has everything for anyone. At it's core it's about conquering loneliness and finding your match even if it's your sister or brother.
