Back again folks with more awesome news about the Derrick Comedy movie Mystery Team. In short, this is one of the movies that came out of this year’s Sundance Film Festival that you absolutely must see. When I wrote last week about the NYC Screenings, I made mention of some serious pull quotage being dished out by myself and my fellow online journos. And tonight I am back with some news for our friends on the other coast, news of a special screening in Los Angeles. From what I am told, which comes from some very excited inside sources, this week’s NYC screenings were packed. So packed that they added a third secret screening just this evening (11p, Upright Citizens Brigade Theater 26th St. and 8th Ave. for those interested). And I’d be willing to put money on the fact that those folks got way more than their money’s worth. As for this screening, I’m not sure whether or not the cast and crew will be there, but you sure as hell should be.

Check out the info above and keep it locked here at FSR and over at the Derrick Comedy site for more information as this thing continues to grow.

And hell, you twisted my arm. Here are those beautiful quotes again:

“[The] perfect comedy for the internet generation. Irreverent, dark and beautifully self aware, the first film from the Derrick Comedy group is a certified winner with the potential to earn a cult following.” – Me, Film School Rejects

“I can’t recommend it enough. Walking in I thought that the Derrick Comedy team’s short film background would lead to a movie that was lacking cohesion and just a series of sketches, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Watching this movie I couldn’t help but think that I was seeing the future of film comedy stretching its legs and warming up.” – Devin Faraci, CHUD

“Derrick Comedy is on the edge of becoming huge.” – Peter Sciretta, /Film

“Mystery Team needs to be seen. It’s fresh, it’s unique, and funnier than hell. It’s the kind of movie that’ll rock midnight showings full of jubilant, nerds for years to come. It’s the Rocky Horror Picture Show of mystery movies.” – Josh Tyler, Cinema Blend

“It’s Encyclopedia Brown meets Napoleon Dynamite with a pinch of Ace Ventura … and it’s hilarious.” Erik Davis, Cinematical
