Fck'n Nuts [2023]

Directed by Sam Fox

Sandy is grievously forced to break it off with the boy of her dreams in order to avert him from meeting her unusual parents. Sandy is a 19 year old, innocent and child-like girl who still lives at home with her abnormal parents. She has finally met the boy of her dreams, the kind and sincere Dan Deakins. Unfortunately, Dan has fallen for Sandy too, and he wants to get close to her, he wants to meet her family. The problem is Sandy’s parents are strange and they’ve scared off every boy, friend and schoolmate that Sandy has ever brought home. In order to stave off the heartbreak of losing the boy she loves, Sandy makes the difficult decision to break it off with Dan...but he shows up at her house unannounced to declare his love. Inside the house, we see POV’s of Mommy and Daddy, and Sandy isn’t exaggerating, they are strange. While Daddy creepily watches Sandy and Dan’s interaction outside, Mommy warns Daddy to “act normal” as they do not wish to scare off another one of Sandy’s visitors. Dan finally convinces Sandy to let him in. Even though she repeatedly tells him her parents are 100% dictionary definition of the term, NUTS, he claims he doesn’t care, he loves her anyway. Sandy finally gives in, I mean, Dan is the most sincere and kind guy in the world, maybe he’s up for the challenge and won’t run away. As Sandy and Dan walk inside the house, Mommy and Daddy go to greet him, and just as Sandy said, her parents are NUTS... giant peanuts to be precise. Dan drops to his knees, his throat swells, his body goes limp, he starts oozing tan goo out of every orifice. He helplessly tries to point to his pant pocket and when Sandy finally realizes he's in the midst of anaphylactic shock, she retrieves a giant epipen. Mommy and Daddy break it to a distraught Sandy, it'll never work, she has to decide between saving Dan or keeping her family. Sadly for Dan, our parents are an inescapable part of us and sometimes we have to make sacrifices because well, family is family.
