Julia Stiles Tracy as Tracy. Rob McGillivray Gordon as Gordon. Todd Berger Hal as Hal. More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. Trapped in the house and unsure of their fates, these seemingly normal people become increasingly unhinged, with surprising results. Are you prepared? Rated R for language including sexual references, and some drug content. Did you know Edit.
Trivia Todd Berger based each character on various different stages of grief. Goofs Glen calls the final book of the Bible "Revelations" instead of its correct name "Revelation". A Bible History teacher would never make such a mistake. Quotes Hedy : Do you think that when we die, we have to wear the clothes we died in for all of eternity? Hedy : Hmmmm Hedy : billion. Buck : Wow. Crazy credits The finale of Tchiakovsky's Overture is heard just as the ending credits begin. This is a callback to the beginning of the movie when Glen turns the car radio off just before this segment begins.

She's taking him along to a long-established couples' brunch with three other duos: responsible married homeowners Emma Erinn Hayes and Pete Blaise Miller ; their married musician besties, Lexi Rachel Boston and Buck Kevin M.
Brennan ; and perpetually engaged chemistry teacher Hedy America Ferrera and her comic-book-obsessed fiance, Shane Jeff Grace. Before the brunch begins, the guys want to check out the University of Texas game, but the TVs don't work. And Shane is desperate to figure out whether he's won an eBay auction for an X-Men issue, but the Internet is out -- what's happening? Soon a neighbor in a Hazmat suit comes over to explain that the city is under siege, and a biological weapon has been released into the atmosphere.
From then on, brunch turns into not just a figurative disaster, but a literal one as well. Writer-director Todd Berger managed to create a sharply crafted character study under the microscope of a familiar social situation that quickly spirals completely out of control.
Cross, for once, plays the straight man -- the outsider trying to come to grips with the emotional baggage and off-putting dynamics of this clique of brunch-eating best friends. Stiles, who's usually a supporting character, shines as the single but "together" friend who can't stand how her friends assume that she ends relationships for no good reason. Every couple gets a turn in the spotlight, and it becomes more and more obvious that the unknown disaster taking place is radically changing everyone in the house.
When the fifth couple, always late to brunch, shows up at the door, Tracy refuses to let them in, because they've already barricaded the doors, and really, they should have been more considerate about punctuality over the years. Buck and Lexi, musicians who apparently have an open marriage, take the time to make love and strum their guitar and glockenspiel.
And Ferrera gives a physical comedy performance as Hedy, who uses her chemistry skills to mix up a batch of homemade Ecstasy, because if there was ever a time to get high, it's when the end of the world is nigh. For a one-set dark comedy, It's a Disaster is a surprisingly entertaining, play-like ensemble film. Families can talk about dark comedies, and what the subgenre entails: making light of otherwise somber topics in this case, everyone's imminent death.
What are some other dark comedies? Who do they appeal to? Why are disaster movies so fascinating? How is It's a Disaster different from ones that have more violence and an obvious villain?
What kinds of relationships and people do each of the couples personify -- from the one on their third date to the engaged-but-not-married duo to the two very different married couples?
