LOS ANGELES — A raunchy buddy movie, directed by and starring Constantine Paraskevopoulos, titled “BFFs,” is now available to stream on the free platform Tubi. The film is written by veteran filmmaker Adam Rifkin, who also co-stars alongside Constantine as the childhood friend, Henry.
There are a whole host of noted stars in the film, including System of a Down’s Shavo Odadjian, Taye Diggs, Terrence Howard, Jennifer Morrison, Kane Hodder, Nick Stahl and Amaury Nolasco.
The story follows a chaotic reunion when Jerry Klugman (played by Paraskevopoulos) returns to reconnect with his childhood best friend, Henry Hartman. Of course, mayhem ensues.
The film is produced by Ammni Studios and Digital Ignition Entertainment, with Wu-Tang Clan member RZA serving as a producer.
In a recent interview, Paraskevopoulos explained the film as “a raunchy buddy comedy in the spirit of the ‘80s and ‘90s classics — the kind Hollywood stopped making. Two childhood best friends reunite and their prank war escalates until everything spirals out of control.”
“Jerry (me) reconnects with his old best friend Henry (Adam Rifkin), who’s stuck in a dead-end marriage and a soul-crushing job. Jerry’s mission is to reignite his best friend’s spark — but the pranks go too far, and chaos comes from every direction. The leads represent relationships that have hit that rough spot, and that’s always fascinated me. Movies always let you know what happens when it’s over, or they spend the whole film building up to the spark of something — but what about the messy middle, the in-between? That’s what we were exploring,” Paraskevopoulos explained. “It’s amazing how people who would’ve literally jumped in front of a train to save the other person’s life can sour so quickly — eighteen months after being in love, people hire divorce attorneys, spend $200,000 on custody battles, and try to destroy each other’s lives.”
