I saw "Shut Up and Sing" at The US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado in March 2006. This film eventually won The Audience Award for Best Movie.
Picture a group of college buddies, 15 years later, going to the wedding of one of their (college) a cappella group members. They meet in The Hamptons for their pre-wedding singing rehearsal along with spouses, significant others, nannies and children. The follow -along story line is hilarious and filled with more good one-liners than I could ever remember. A small touch of seriousness does not interfere with this 2000% laugh out loud comedy. I can't wait for the movie to hit the country so I can see it again....and would love to have the soundtrack.....a cappella never sounded so good. I don't recall seeing any of these actors before, but keep an eye out for: Chris Bowers ( Spooner ), David Harbour ( David ), Reg Rogers ( Richard). The entire audience stayed after the showing for the Q & A with Producer/Director/Writer, Bruce Leddy and Co-Producer, Eliza Steel. The theater was SRO with people from age 21 to 70......all of them laughing. No matter your age, you could identify with these people. You could tell by the buzz in the lobby afterwards that this movie was the best comedy. Of the 20 movies I saw during this Festival, Shut Up and Sing was, by far, the most funny, feel-good film.
