An Awkward Balance, originally released as Fucking Idiots before being retitled, is a Canadian comedy film, directed by David Milchard and released in 2020.[1] The film stars Ben Cotton and Christina Sicoli as Mike and Sara, a couple who are embarrassed by their lack of financial self-control after going on a spending spree that has left them virtually broke; they approach their friend Paul (Stephen Lobo) to administer aversion therapy in an attempt to curb their spending habits, only to be interrupted by the arrival of Venice (Sara Canning), a prostitute to whom Paul himself also owes a large unpaid debt.[1]
The film's screenplay was written by Kris Elgstrand.
The film premiered at the 2020 Vancouver International Film Festival under the Fucking Idiots title.[2]
