Did you know that “dolphins are smart, they’re like chimpanzees with fins” or “porpoises are the people of the sea”?Well that’s what we learn as we follow the antics of “Richard” (Michael Urie) and boyfriend “Alex” (Randy Harrison) after they agree to do some house-sitting and discover $980k and a curious looking sculpture in a secret cupboard. Next day, “Dr. Paige” (Carrie Wiita) and her husband “Cooper” (James Urbaniak) arrive at their door to announce the death of the owners and to give her step-brother (“Alex”) his marching orders. Why? Well it turns out that she knows that the money is on the house, but doesn’t know where it is! Can the lads smuggle it out un-noticed? Then what will they do with it? Buy an house, or maybe donate to some Bhutanese orphans, or then again - maybe porpoises with purpose could get the cash? The police (Ana Ortiz) are quickly on the case, too, and as the couple lurch from one self-induced catastrophe to another it becomes clear that they are all going to have to cooperate if anyone is to stay out of jail. It is quite good fun for the first half hour. Stereotypical, yes, but there’s a degree of chemistry between Harrison and Urie and some fun bitching with half-sister Wiita but the story doesn’t really go anywhere but down after that as the plot runs out of ideas and veers just to close to cheesy farce for my liking. The opening titles reminded me a little of the “Pink Panther” but that was as quirky as it got. It’s watchable daytime telly fodder but that’s the height of it.
