They were never in time to book a gig at Toronto’s The Rivoli, then one day… They weren’t in their time at all. From Matt Johnson (BLACKBERRY) and Jay McCarrol’s cult comedy series comes an adventure 17 years in the making. Shot in downtown Toronto and featuring any number of jaw-droppingly unbelievable hijinks involving well-known landmarks that evoke prankster docs like BORAT and JACKASS, NIRVANNA sets the flux capacitor for a gut-busting and time-skewing real good time.
“Hilarious as the movie can be, there’s an even more amusing meta level on which we laugh at how insane it is that it exists at all, marveling at how they pulled it off.” —Peter Debruge, Variety “You can sense the joy of filmmaking in every frame from Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol as they not only invoke an appreciation of Robert Zemeckis’ work but honor it with the same kind of anarchic spirit determined to make audiences roll over with laughter.” —Erik Childress, Pop Culture Leftovers
