This dramatically emotional spot for Maranatha shifts focus away from the nut butter product and instead puts a spotlight on our heartbroken anti-hero, forlorn in this romantic saga. Peter Sluszka's attraction to this nutty concept sets the stage for a successful story.
Laughter and empathy intertwine as the loser in this heartwarming battle of hearts takes center stage. Set to an awesome fake 80s ballad, comically overwrought but so authentic sounding that people will be convinced they remember it, this character driven film plucks at all of our emotional heartstrings.
