 Confessionsofa Ex-Doofus-ItchyFooted Mutha Director: Melvin Van Peebles Writer: Melvin Van Peebles Cast: Melvin Van Peebles, Seth Austin, Paul Krasner, Scott Sortman Country: US Theatrical Release Date: August 21, 2009 Synopsis: Melvin Van Peebles-filmmaker, playwright, composer, crooner, ladies' man, and living legend-returns to the screen with this picaresque yarn about a boy from Chicago who wants to see the world and get rich but discovers that all he needs is the love of a good woman. Based on Van Peebles' 1982 Broadway show Waltz of the Stork, Confessions chronicles the adventures of a man who, armed only with a can of contingency cash, swims his way to New York, joins the merchant marine, romances women of all ages (and an amorous gorilla), and dances for his life in the court of Zampoughi. "Thereby hangs the tale," says Van Peebles. "A piece of one, anyway." [Synopsis courtesy of Tribeca Film Festival] YouTube Trailer:
