SYNOPSIS
Nearly 130 years after his death, we find Charles Darwin relaxing on the beach in Malibu, sipping fruit smoothies with a girl young enough to be his daughter. As he reads trashy novels and ponders the meaning of life, he is surprised by the sudden appearance of Thomas Huxley, the biologist considered to be the greatest advocate of Darwin’s Origin of Species. Shortly after Huxley’s arrival, Bishop Samuel Wilberforce washes ashore seeking to continue their famous 1860 debate between evolution and creationism. The argument between science and religion is cleverly transformed into this insightful comedy that asks, “Who needs evolution when you have plastic surgery?”
