NEW YORK, NY – Stepping out of his father’s comedic shadow, 28-year-old Joey Piscopo makes his feature film debut as the charming lead in the romantic comedy SATURDAY MORNING, which enchanted audiences at the 2007 Indie Fest USA, taking home the award for “Best Comedy.” In the light-hearted fantasy, Piscopo is supported by a cast of familiar faces and rising stars, including “Cheers” regular George Wendt, Howard Stern’s stunning wife Beth Ostrosky, Lillo Brancato (Enemy of the State) and Australian heartthrob Louis Mandylor (Necessary Roughness).

Mild-mannered businessman Wes Selman (Piscopo) is not a morning person, especially on weekends. So, when a home renovation project forces him up and out of the house at the crack of dawn on Saturday, he’s not exactly thrilled. Upon stepping outside, Wes is shocked to discover a whole new world – a Utopia of sorts where he can achieve nearly everything, including winning the affections of the woman of his dreams (newcomer Valerie Feingold). The catch? The utopian state only exists for a two hour period, from 6 to 8 am on Saturday mornings. With the help of his worldly best friend Frankie (Mandylor), Wes must figure out how to extend his idyllic romance to the rest of the 166 hours of the week and the solution? It may lie with a mysterious stranger (Wendt) in this unique and unforgettable romantic comedy in the vein of Groundhog Day.
SATURDAY MORNING is presented in widescreen format with Dolby Stereo 2.0.
