Georg, a professional improviser, wants the best for his epileptic child—and he finds it in a chic daycare center in Leipzig. He can't admit that he's unemployed and his wife works as a cleaning lady. With a doctored biography and rusty charm, he fakes his way into the hip parenthood scene as a supposed event manager, organizing flea markets, barbecuing, smoking weed, and taking over the cash register. The fact that there is almost half a million euros in it is initially a "gift" that Georg soon uses to treat himself to a lavish lifestyle without anyone noticing – and to become more and more like the hip parents. But as he juggles credit cards, his shady dealings increasingly begin to turn against him.

Honey Don't! is a chaotic queer noir that's part detective story, part midnight movie madness. Margaret Qualley is fantastic as the wise-cracking private eye Honey, with Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans adding their own dry humor to the mix. The mystery itself is pretty loose, but the film makes up for it with crackling sexual tension, weird side characters, and razor-sharp dialogue. It's messy and uneven, but in the best possible way.
