🎣THE FOREIGNER
At a fishing lodge in rural Georgia, regular visitor “Froggy” LeSueur brings along the pathologically shy Charlie, who dreads making conversation with strangers. So Froggy tells everyone that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. The fun really begins when Charlie overhears more than he should, including damaging revelations from people assuming Charlie doesn’t understand a word.
