Made in Cleveland

Tale of life, love and the pursuit of happiness... in Cleveland. Nine vignettes about love: an old war hero defends the honor and memory of a long-lost love; a man's past comes to light in the midst of a perfect date; a recently separated paramedic gets more than he bargains for when he is thrust in the middle of a domestic dispute; a desperate man employs his friends in an elaborate scheme to meet the girl of his dreams, a recovering sex addict returns home to start a new life. There are thousands of stories of love, lust, loss and despair all over Cleveland-these are just a few of them.

Directed by Robert C. Banks, Amy Tankersley Swinderman, Cigdem Slankard, Tony Hartman, Eric Swinderman, Sage O'Bryant, Jamie Babbit, Made in Cleveland leans on a strong ensemble — Gillian Jacobs, Busy Philipps, Robbie Barnes — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2013.
