Set in 1990, a lonely bachelor named David (Brian Landis Folkins) searches for an escape from the day-to-day drudgery of caring for his aging mother (Kathleen Brady). While seeking a partner through a video dating service, he discovers a strange VHS tape called Rent-A-Pal. Hosted by the charming and charismatic Andy (Wil Wheaton), the tape offers him much-needed company, compassion, and friendship. But, Andy's friendship comes at a cost, and David desperately struggles to afford the price of admission.
在国外,莫名想看恐怖片,看到威尔·惠顿,布莱恩·兰迪斯·福尔金斯,艾米·拉特利奇这个阵容本来还是有点小期待。结果,哎...很是失望,奇奇怪怪尴尴尬尬,剧情也一言难尽...虽然现在都在拍主旋律都在拍正剧,但也不能这种充数,演员和剧本还是硬功夫。什么时候我们也能拍出那种能够真正吸引人的剧呢?
