"Because Why"
1992
Directed by Art Paragamian

Aimless traveler Alex finally returns home to Montreal, only to find that his best friend is moving away and a former girlfriend is married with children. Feeling a sudden need to settle down, he strikes up a couple of romantic relationships that turn out to be far less than perfect. "...its understated wit and warm humor are winning, and the hilarious and absolutely deadpan performance by Michael Riley as Alex is just right" (Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter). 104 minutes.
