03/24/09 -Prom night is meant to be a magical life milestone that you'll remember for the rest of your life. And, generally, it is… unless, of course, it ends in you getting so drunk that you fall down a flight of stairs, get crushed by a bookcase and end up in a coma for four years. Then it kind of sucks.
All the more so if, while you're in a vegetative state, your girlfriend ditches you and becomes a Playboy Bunny.
Zach Cregger and Trevor Moore's new movie, "Miss March," chronicles the exploits of two sex-obsessed BFFs, Tucker and Eugene, as they hightail it to the Playboy Mansion to win back Eugene's high-school sweetheart. It's not exactly a heartwarming story- but if nothing else, it'll leave you laughing.
Cregger and Moore are only in their late twenties, but they're already comedy veterans. Founders of the sketch comedy group "The Whitest Kids U Know," the pair has already paid their dues in the business and have an irreverently hilarious sketch show on the Independent Film Channel (also called "The Whitest Kids U Know") to prove it. From "smoking bones" with a gaggle of stoned dinosaurs to uncovering the real reason why Abraham Lincoln got shot (…apparently he put the "ass" in assassinated), no subject is off limits.
They bring that same sensibility to the forthcoming feature film, "Miss March." After (quite literally) getting smashed on prom night, Eugene winds up in a coma. Now obviously, being comatose is not an ideal situation, but it's all the worse if you're left only in the hands of your incompetent slacker friend - especially if that friend turns every fireman in America against you, outfits you in a tight pink hoodie that has the word "foxy" splashed across the chest and gets you in deep with one of the most popular rappers on the airwaves.
Cregger and Moore, who came through Boston to promote the film, sat down to talk to the Cigar about the leap from sketch comedy to filmmaking, what it was like working with Hugh Hefner, and why stuntmen are awesome.
