Control Alt Delete: The Movie Where The Guy Has Sex With Computers

Control Alt Delete, a "technosexual comedy" about a programmer so stressed out about fixing the Y2K bug that he starts having sex with computers, premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last week and got a distributor. While the "computer rape accusation" scene is humorous, I'm not sure this is going to be the next Office Space:

A movie about computers set in 1999 is basically a period piece. I can't wait for the Mac-sponsored sequel, Option Apple Escape. The tagline should be "I wish I knew how to force quit you." (Groan, okay, done.)

I don't know what it says about this movie that the writer/director and the lead actor are brothers (I used IMDb to verify this).
