Just when you thought you’ve seen everything, here’s a jaw-droppingly absurd horror comedy with Ken Marino (MTV’s The State, Wet Hot American Summer) starring as Ken, a stressed out accountant prone to severe stomach issues. During the opening credits of the film, we take a visual ride down his throat and through his digestive track before jumping back an incredibly specific 123 hours in time to tell his story.
His wife, Sarah (Community’s Gillian Jacobs), accompanies him to have his pain diagnosed and determine the source of his troubles. His doctor not-so-professionally exclaims “you’ve got a trooper in your pooper” and blames it on poor stress management. After being told that he has to keep his stress levels to a bare minimum, everything that happens in Ken’s life from that point on transpires to make that an impossible task.
He’s asked by his boss, Phil (Seinfeld’s Patrick Warburton), to transition over to human resources to terminate several of his co-workers. After all, Ken is a likable guy who will make the news easier to digest. This only adds to his daily distress and pushes him to a breaking point where he ends up spending several hours a day sitting on the toilet in sheer agony while Sarah puts in earplugs and drifts off to blissful sleep.
