George B., a part-time janitor at the neighbourhood bar in a small California town, is a simple-minded but by no means stupid fellow who just wants a little affection, a little tenderness. George's birthday has always been his lucky day and this year is no different. Before making his annual gambling trek to Reno, George meets Angela, a discount-store clerk with a seemingly sweet smile, and when he strikes it big at the casino he returns to invite her to move in with him. For Angela the invitation has come at an opportune time; she's dying to get away from her hellishly overbearing mother. Using his Reno winnings as capital, George sets up his own janitorial business and hires Jerry, a handsome young drifter, to work as his driver. In no time the business is booming. But Jerry's been burned in business before and his suspicions run deep, especially concerning flirtatious Angela. Jerry tries to warn George but George is the eternal optimist...

"GEORGE B. marks the sweetly promising debut of writer-director Eric Lea... Lea proves he has a talent for developing full and rich characters." -- Alison Macor (Austin Daily Chronicle)

"Cross one of Hal Hartley's deadpan farces with a 1940s film noir, then add a touch of FORREST GUMP to the mix and you have GEORGE B..." -- Joe Leydon (Variety)

"If GEORGE B. were a major studio film, they'd be pumping George Morse for Oscars." -- Rick Brough (Park City Record)
