"Imagine you¡¦re depressed. You¡¦ve just been dumped by your girl friend. Forget that Ho. Go out with your buddies and raise some Hell. That¡¦s exactly what happens tonight at the local Laundry Mat. Carl, Gill, and Jeff are shameless punks that methodically torment a variety of freaks straight out of HollyWeird, CA. Where else would you find a midget, bazaar homosexuals, and a prostitute, among several other pathetic excuses for men washing their clothes? As the story unfolds, curiously, none of the victims really possess any courage. Oddly enough, a cancer-stricken lesbian is more formidable than the so-called security guard! So naturally these inebriated thugs escalate their cruelty. For God¡¦s sake, Carl¡¦s got the chutzpah to pick on a paraplegic in a wheelchair! Even a young kid is targeted for a tumble¡K in the dryer, of course! Not your Sunday choir boy movie. But if you enjoy gut-wrenching mind games this DVD is the ticket."

"Twisted entertainment? Absolutely. Void of any virtue? Oh yeah. A good old fashion sick-flick that smacks of the classic A Clockwork Orange, maniacal and cruel. Three boozed-up bad boys bent on airing more than dirty laundry at the local wash-n-dry. Carl and Gill cheer up their broken-hearted buddy, Jeff (just dumped by his girlfriend) at the expense of some sorry-ass Laundry mat patrons. At first, these hooligans engage in petty chitchat. But soon it turns pathological. Everybody¡¦s got an Achilles¡¦ heal. And Carl and company waste no time pinpointing easy prey. Tonight our cast of victims include a bawdy call girl, two lezbos, a gimp (David Schwimmer geek-clone), and even an ornery midget¡K not to mention a few other men of no moxie. Nobody leaves this Laundry Mat unscathed. No weakness goes unchecked. Nothing is sacred. Worse still, Carl¡¦s increasingly insatiable desire to inflict emotional distress. His repulsive humor tests the limits of chaos, and eventually his buddies. All in all, a dude (not prude) DVD. But some butch chicks might say otherwise! Enjoy also the 30-minute trailer of between the scene interviews. But think twice before your next trip to the Laundry Mat. I hear Carl¡¦s out on parole!"
