synopsis
Howard Chuckle has a choice to make; a choice that will shape the rest of his life. His future will be determined by deciding what's most important to him-his dream girl or dream job? Only a kooky Chinese restaurant owner and clumsy sushi chef can be his guardian angels during his time of need. Multi award winning filmmaker Michael Weinstein's slapstick take on priorities, pressures, and how fate is based through behavior.
