Plot Outline

Gavin Tartowski has been called a quack, a cult-leader, and a barista who sees himself as a guru. Looking for a support group to help him with his compulsion to wear extremely tight pants, Gavin was turned away from 12-step programs like AA, NA and GA.

“Why all the labels?” Gavin asks. “Why not put all problems under one umbrella?” “That is why I created A. I want to help people no matter what their challenges are.”

The group’s newest challenge is Benji, a troubled 35 year-old “huffer” whose mother has sent him to A. As the members struggle with Benji, they begin to work through their own inner-demons and start to see the value in their lives. Although Tartowski’s methods are less than orthodox, his ability to heal is indisputable.

This film is as life affirming as A itself.

Reviews

Newest Reader Review, Published August 5, 2006
I went to see this movie the other night. It was one of those locally made movies. A. Anonymous. I was assured it was good. It was far better than that. It was fantastic. Hilarious. It reminds me of Best in Show. It is a mockumentary on a self help group. The writing is superb and the characters are hilarious. They did a fantastic job. An amazing job. It takes a minute for my suspension of belief for it is out there. And once I did I nearly fell out of my seat. The humor is really subtle, but not. More than one time I put my face in my hands. Ray Brewer is a nutjob. Grace with the straight character the whole way through playing off of Brewer and Mizz Jones. So rich! And Tony with that ball and the smiley face. The whole thing. All the characters were just so ridiculously rich. And cameos by Gus Torregrossa from Gus' Fine Fashions and Shoes. This movie involves huffing, Mexican wrestling masks, passing out and more. George was perfectly convincing, and quite creepy funny weird in his execution of his character.Lordy lordy!! Two technical praises- the movie was a good length and the editing worked well with the writing.

Listen to NPR's review of A (anonymous).
