Control Alt Delete

Control Alt Delete are computer commands hit simultaneously should all else fail trying to unlock a computer. Here all else fails for a computer nerd named Lewis Henderson (Tyler Labine) so he hits on his computer – romantically that is. He’s a techie scrambling at the end of 1999 to ward off the tidal wave of doom expected from the impending Y2K. Sarah (Laura Bertram) is his beautiful girlfriend who is way out of his league – not that he notices but regardless he has self esteem issues that drive him to online pornography. When a frustrated Sarah takes a hike Lewis takes solace in computer sex – no longer with porn sites but with the actual computer. Don’t ask. OK it involves a drill, taped bubble wrap and lotion. Soon his personal computer is no longer satisfying enough and he starts dating units from work. Talk about dipping your pen in the company ink! When Angela (Alisen Down) his tightly wound boss discovers the computer molestation he covers his tracks (so to speak) by feigning a romance with Jane Fredrickson (Sonja Bennett) the new receptionist. Jane is quite willing to date an overweight geek with self loathing issues because as it turns out she has her own litany of peccadilloes. Although not named this is clearly a Vancouver-centric comedy shot on a shoe string. It’s somewhat interesting in itself but more so in that it was one of the films on the radar in light bill C-10, the shelved Federal censorship legislation. Seeing Control Alt Delete might aid in your decision about deleting or altering this extreme kind of control.
