Synopsis

A twenty something couple wrestles with their future, their past and a giant purple La-Z-Boy in this comedy.

After finding a vintage Lazy Boy recliner online just like the one that used to grace his childhood living room, Josh (Mark Duplass) decides to purchase the purple relic and deliver it to his father as a surprise birthday gift. Josh's simple plan is suddenly complicated when his emotionally demanding girlfriend, Emily (Kathryn Aselton), and his granola-munching brother, Rhett (Rhett Wilkins) join him on the trip. During the road trip and mission, Josh learns a thing or two about himself and his relationships in the process.

THE PUFFY CHAIR received honors at several film festivals and was an Official Selection at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival and the Audience Award winner at the 2005 SXSW Film Festival. The film was also nominated for two Independent Spirit Awards in 2006.
