Clumsy Louis

Inspired by the slapstick humor of Mr. Bean and the absurdity of The Gods Must Be Crazy, Louis embarks on a series of outrageous attempts to prove his love to his fiancée's family—each step he takes ends in another comical failure. "Clumsy Louis" is a comedy that celebrates the beauty of imperfection and the unpredictability of love. Will Louis finally win the hearts of his fiancée's family, or will his comical misadventures hold him back forever?
