Full Plot Details

Ben and Katie break-up in the lead up to his thirtieth birthday. He doesn't want to show anyone how much the break-up has affected him, he only stating to friends that their time together had taken its course. His friends not only want him to get back into the dating scene, but just want him to get out and have fun, which generally means going to the bars. Ben, however, comes to the conclusion that he has never really enjoyed the bar scene, and takes a stance that he will no longer spend his time at such places, and beyond taking his dog Schnitzel out for her walks, extends it to that he won't go out at all. That self-imposed shut-in status may include not going to the imminent bachelor party and wedding of one of his best friends, Jim, which may negatively affect his friendships in their totality. Beyond his work as a movie reviewer for a number of online publications, he has to find ways to survive at home in all aspects of his life, both personally and professionally. He is largely able to do so, having most of what he needs delivered, purchasing some new toys, such as a pinball machine, to keep him preoccupied, getting voice acting work which he can do from home, and even having women who he meets on online dating websites come over to his place for their encounters. In this situation, Ben ends up making a connection with Jess, one of his regular food delivery people. As Ben and Jess progress from a purely professional relationship to the start of a personal one, Ben, who does not tell her the truth about not leaving home, has to make some decisions about his shut-in status, which he can only do in being up front with himself for the real reason for doing it.

Movie Reviews

NOW Toronto - 6/10 by Norman WilnerIt's nicely observed, and at just 70 minutes doesn't overstay its welcome. Plus, cool dog.
The Tyee (British Columbia) - 6/10 by Dorothy WoodendBy the end of the film, I'd had more than enough of Ben and his silly search for self-actualization.
Toronto Star - 6/10 by Linda BarnardSimple charmer Ben's At Home makes the most of an uncomplicated premise about a modern-day hermit making connections via the digital world.
User Review - 10/10 by Jupiter RA rare gem of constant laughter and excitement. Not only do you get the opportunity to see a wide range of characters, but you also are lead through a great storyline about love and acceptance. It is the perfect film for anyone.
User Review - 10/10 by Meredith SI went to see this movie, a little skeptically, to be honest. A guy who refuses to leave his house? How funny could it really be? But it really ended up pulling out all the stops. It had me laughing in a remarkably charming way that made it near impossible not to sympathize with Ben's plight. It even made me contemplate not leaving my house for a bit! It's an unforgettable movie.
User Review - 10/10 by Sally FBen's at home was a 70 minute laughing marathon. You travel with Ben through his journey of quirky characters in a way that everyone can relate to. From not wanting to run into an ex, bad online dates, and blunt relatives, this is a film to see.
User Review - 8/10 by Lee MBen's At Home is about a Toronto 30-something who reviews movies and video games, who doesn't like going out and is not a huge socializer. So it's basically about me. One day he decides he's not going to go out anymore and pledges to himself to stay in, indefinitely. This being 2015, it's actually not that hard. He can order his groceries online and have them delivered. He can find dates online and invite them over and he can work from home. Initially, being a hermit in today's day and age doesn't seem like as much of a commitment as it would've in previous decades. And even when bed bugs and a subsequent evacuation force him to find other accommodations for a night, his answer is to set up a tent and 'rough it' in his backyard. Of course, this domestic bliss doesn't last forever and complications do eventually arise. He misses some important events, like a bachelor party for one of his best friends. He starts dating a nice girl but scares her off, in part because of his lifestyle and in part because he's still stinging over a bad breakup. And he eventually is forced to decide whether it's better to stay in his house for the rest of his life or have relationships with actual human beings. The film stars Dan Abramovici, who also cowrote it. Dan's written and acted in a number of interesting Canadian independent films. This is his first full length. It's also director Mars Horodyski's first full length feature. They're not newcomers and have made their bones in a number of short features, but they both do well with Ben's, as evidenced in the number of awards its won in the past year or so. The film is an easy watch and while it might start slow, it pulls you in and you'll eventually find you won't be able to turn away. It's definitely got a bit of hipster vibe, though some people take that word as an insult and that's not my intention. It's hip and quirky like all those indie's Michael Cera likes to make. Kind of Juno-ish even. Abramovici is great as Ben. He's got an easy charm about him and the right amount of wandering and wondering that a thirty something looking to find his way in the world should have. Jessica Embro, as his love interest, is great as well. She's beautiful and charming and a pleasure to watch. The idea behind the film is one that could easily have lost its steam if it was mishandled or paced improperly, but the well written script keeps the pace lively and at an hour and ten minutes it's about the perfect length. I don't know where you'll find this film outside of Toronto or when (or if) it will eventually pop up on iTunes, but if you come across it, it's worth a look. It may not be as deep or assured as the film's of Canada's current cinematic golden boy Xavier Dolan, but I see these filmmakers going far and worth keeping an eye on.
