Last night saw the Canadian premiere of Showcase's "The United States of Tara." A new dramedy about a suburban mother of two with multiple personalities. Her three alter-ego's are "Buck" the Beer guzzling man, "T" the over-sexual, drug using teenager and "Annie" the 1950's housewife.
This show was so funny, so brilliant. I loved the entire episode. The only thing I didn't enjoy was realizing that the show is only 30 minutes, I wanted more!
Some of the best scenes are when Toni Collette finds the morning-after pill in her daughters backpack. She freaks out and turns into "T" and than we find out "T" was the one who went and got them for her. So basically her mother bought them for her without her knowing when she was the other alter. Brilliant!
Another really great scene is when "Buck" one of Toni's alter-ego's beats up her daughter's boyfriend outside in the school's parking lot. Toni's son gets involved and starts throwing punches and "Buck" yells out to her son "go Marsha go." This was hilarious because his name is Marshall and she's calling her son Marsha. I loved it!
Cannot wait for next Monday!
