Editorial Rating:

A movie about a Y2K programmer who likes to hump his hard drive has a solid-gold premise in my book. Alas, this debut effort by Vancouver’s Cameron Labine plays like a Human Giant sketch that goes on for 92 minutes too long and then ends with a life lesson. Full props to Tyler Labine (sidekick on TV’s Reaper and brother to Cameron) for getting buck-naked to go buck wild on a variety of vintage CPUs. But the movie’s explanations for the big dude’s pervy predilection are ultimately as half-assed as its thin, repetitious excuse for a storyline and vulgar but decidedly sub-Apatow brand of yuks.
