35 AND TICKING

 

Coming to Blu-ray™, DVD and Digital Download September 13th!

 

Chatsworth, CA – On September 13, from One Village Entertainment, a division of Image Entertainment, comes 35 and Ticking, a funny and uplifting story about the value of friends and family, of settling down and settling for what’s best.  Boasting a stellar cast and fresh off its theatrical release, 35 and Ticking will be available on DVD for an SRP of $27.97 and on Blu-ray™ for an SRP of $29.97. Bonus features on the DVD and Blu-ray™ include a behind-the-scenes featurette, deleted scenes and a photo gallery.

 

Long-time friends Victoria, Zenobia, Clevon, and Phil have grown into their separate lives, but they have still arrived at the same crossroads.  They are all approaching their mid-thirties, and each are struggling to build a family.  While Zenobia (Nicole Ari Parker, Soul Food, Brown Sugar) is still looking for the perfect man, Victoria (Tamala Jones, “Castle”, One on One) is married to a younger man who doesn't want children. Clevon (Kevin Hart, Not Easily Broken, 40 Year-Old Virgin), shy and inexperienced, still dreams of the perfect woman, and Phil’s (Keith Robinson, Dreamgirls) wife is more interested in partying than parenting. All four of them try to rectify their romantic lives, while their biological clocks tick away...

 

The incredible cast also includes Wendy Raquel Robinson (“The Game”), Darius McCrary (“The Young and the Restless”), Meagan Goode (Saw V, “My Wife and Kids”), Luenell (“Californication”) and Dondre Whitfield (“The Ghost Whisperer”, “Cold Case”). Hilarious and poignant, 35 and Ticking is a lively and honest comedy about the desire for domestic bliss.
