Writer/director Todd Berger’s witty and insightful comedy captures four hip Angelino couples who come together for their regular Sunday brunch and get so involved in their messy relationship issues, betrayals and personality meltdowns that they hardly notice the apocalypse is knocking on the front door.

Invoking Woody Allen’s cerebral comedies while presenting a fresh perspective on the disaster film, It’s A Disaster showcases its expert comic ensemble — featuring David Cross, Julia Stiles and America Ferrera — who are clearly enjoying themselves sending up self-absorbed characters who are more bothered by their non-functioning cell phones than by the dead bodies accumulating on the front steps.
