Crossing the Line

What goes around comes around. A taste of your own medicine. Two wrongs don't make a right. Junk in the trunk. All of these can be applied to Crossing the Line, in which our main character, perturbed by the rudeness and sloppy parking job of another, sets out to teach a lesson, only to have it backfire with disastrously hilarious results. Armed with few resources, he struggles to free himself from the bed that he has made. Keep this film in mind the next time you think about crossing the line.
