Offbeat Trailer Sunday: Humble Pie

News, Trailers

It’s called the “quirky indy.” Those little independent comedies with humor that makes them different from the others. Here’s a new one from Monterey Media, Humble Pie.

What’s it about?: At nearly 400 pounds, Tracy Orbison (Hubbel Palmer) is a wide target. When he sets out to pursue his dream of acting, the grocery clerk finds an assortment of people waiting to dash his dreams: his acting coach (William Baldwin), who has designs on his sister Peggy (24’s Mary Lynn Rajskub); his juvenile-delinquent friends, who suck him into their petty crimes; and his God-fearing, self-loathing mother (Academy Award nominee Kathleen Quinlan). Through it all, Tracy remains irrepressibly upbeat, convinced he’s destined for something big.
