...Normal Guy in a Bin of Loonies a little too hard. Long after the audience has gotten used to the weirdness of this family, he's still in buggy-eyed disbelief. But the discovery that his long-sought love, Trixy (Erica Mitnick), is an ex-ho and "born-again virgin," is a challenge that expands his character's previously one-note personality.

But the plot is hoked up with religious pieties (Huguenots are the new Bosnians) and a psycho villain desperate to take any Martin's place in Bertrande's bed. It's Romeo and Juliet without the poetry, or an Oklahoma! that...
