Sour Grapes -- Steven Weber and Craig Bierko see their friendship go sour after one wins a slots jackpot with two quarters bummed from the other.

The director of legendary cult/camp classic The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes brings us the fantasy farce “Sour Grapes” (a/k/a “Happy Hour.”) In this film, a Coors-like beer manufacturer stumbles onto a secret ingredient that compels the guzzlers of America to consume its product exclusively. The complication: the magic formula has been stolen by a rival brewery. The original beermeisters send Rich Little out to steal back the formula, while the rival company dispatches Jamie Farr to prevent Little from completing his mission. Upon meeting one another, Rich and Jamie discover that they're old college chums and former student activists. Together, Little and Farr attempt to foil the mercenary machinations of both beer companies.

Steven Weber (TV's "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," "The Shining" miniseries) is Evan, a successful doctor. Craig Bierko ("Cinderella Man," "Kate & Leopold") is Richie, his perennial loser cousin. On a trip to Atlantic City, a desperate Richie borrows two quarters from Evan and hits a slot machine jackpot worth half a million dollars. When the cousins return to New York, however, they can't agree on a way to split up the winnings, and the resulting fracas threatens to break up their family, and ruin Evan's livelihood. Written and directed by "Seinfeld" co-creator, and the man behind the Emmy-winning TV series "Curb Your Enthusiasm," Emmy-winner and Golden Globe-nominee Larry David.
