Synopsis
Shot in a "reality" television style, a portrait of working class domestic life gone awry, which shows, play by play, the escalating drama--and comedy--surrounding the disintegration of Don and Donatella's marriage. Don and Donatella still live together pending the finalization of their divorce. To separate themselves, Don erects a wall dividing the house and his world from hers. Infuriated by his wife's continuing insults through the wall, Don and his buddies crash Donatella's car, bringing the police in to settle the disturbance. Feeling helpless and alone, Donatella decides to crash her own car into Don's, where her brother-in-law Chuck and his crackhead girlfriend Tiffany are living in the backseat. It is only then that all hell breaks loose.
