Margo is a foul-mouthed and over-excited woman who is convinced her fiancÃ© Charles (Stephen Rannazzisi) has been unfaithful to her. Margo hires Mike to break her into Charles’s flat so she can find incriminating evidence against him; Mike develops a guilty conscience about being part of Margo’s scheme, so he contacts Charles and tells him what she’s been up to, which only makes a sticky situation worse. Written and directed by the sibling team Brad Barnes and Todd Barnes, Homewrecker received its world premiere at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
