Review of Mop King

Mop King (2013)
8/10
Jed is a good maid
14 February 2016
I thought the poster and title were funny and the name, so I had a look and was surprised how fresh and fun this indie comedy was. The characters are the best kind of silly. Jed is a good maid, he is slightly handicapped by being a knob and having major emotional and mood disorders, possibly related to junk food and his brother being a real tosser. Jed's parents are the best and Jed continuously fails to offer them any hope of him having any kind of worthwhile life. Jed has a disturbed group of friends and lots of shenanigans visiting clients homes with his bicycle powered freelance maid business. He is very skilled at balancing buckets on his handlebars.

Jed finally finds happiness in his life when he meets his perfect soulmate Deborah and I was with them all the way, through their epic struggles to stay together when faced with their own chronic immaturity, laziness and junk food addictions. Ace Dixon does a top job directing this and I really applaud the structure of the film, he keeps it really strong, nice twists and surprises and a fab over the top finale. It all made me very happy
