My Moustache Brings All the Boys to the Yard...

About 6 months ago my wonderful father gave us the gift of Roku, a device that lets us watch Netflix Instant Play movies on the television in our bedroom, despite the fact that our computer is across the house. We've had it for 6 months but only recently have been able to hook it up and get it working due to the generosity of a friend who gave us a router. But that's another story. This is a story about La Moustache. This may be one of my new favorite movies, a movie I probably would never have seen if it wasn't for the Roku.
A summary:
Marc, a mustached man for a long time, asks his wife one evening what she would think if he shaved his mustache off. She replies that she wouldn't know what to think, he's had it so long, she may not even know him without it. So, while she's out, he shaves it, but is baffled when she, his friends and his coworkers don't even seem to notice.
Okay okay, it sounds boring, but give it a chance and you'll be amazed at how deliciously weird, funny and mysterious this film is. While watching it I kept on running out of the room (or waddling at this point if we're going to be honest) to H-man and yelling "This movie is so great/weird/funny/crazy!"
Being married to a man with ample facial hair (at times), and being a woman faced with a future of facial hair herself (I'm already plucking) this movie was especially significant. I highly recommend it.
