Choke (2008)

A story about a sex-addict and his demented mother, the doctor that helps them both and a best friend that falls in love with a stripper. If you are squeamish about language, sex and nudity, this is not for you. If you are looking for a comedy with surprising depth, this could be for you. My favorite moment is when the stripper dyes her hair after she realizes that blondes are at greater risk for cancer. Brilliant! Sam Rockwell stars along with Angelica Houston, Kelly Macdonald (State of Play) and Gillian Jacobs as the stripper Cherry Daquiri. This one is quirky, and well worth it.
