An incident on Christmas Eve forces Cliff (Michael Strassner) to face a dental emergency. When Didi (Liz Larsen) is the only available dentist, a series of coincidences lead the middle aged recovering alcoholic and the divorced woman across Baltimore, ending up in one awkward situation (stealing Cliff's towed car from a locked junk yard; and performing an improv in front of a crowd unsure whether to laugh or cringe) after another.
Jay Duplass' movie is a quiet, impossible to resist dramedy about broken people looking for comfort in the oddest of places. Cliff and Didi are an unconventional couple, and all the more compatible because, at face value, they appear tangled with incompatibilities. "The Baltimorons" may not be on anyone's re-watch list, but its hundred minutes will pass by swifter than home workout.
