Robbie Pickering’s dramedy “Natural Selection” seems to play
up a moral belief in some fundamentalist circles: that it is wrong to
experience sexuality for any purpose other than procreation in marriage.
Abe (John Diehl) has donated sperm to a bank for years
(secretly) because his wife Linda (Rachel Harris) seems unable to give him
children. One day he has a stroke during a donation session and it may be
fatal. His wife Linda (Rachel Harris) finds out about the 23-year-old son he
had this way and travels (from East Texas) to Florida to meet the son Raymond (Matt
O’Leary) and bring him back to Texas before Abe dies.
Raymond is hardly a model citizen, as he has broken out of
jail and is on the lam. A wild road trip follows, and Linda goes over the top
in her own behavior, at last. I could say it's predictable. But she acts a bit like Joyce Mitchell.
The DVD includes cast interviews.
