Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Brian McKenna This comedy short is a ridiculous look at the normally overlooked minutia of a supreme court deposition. A tumultuous exchange between a lawyer trying to confirm a government employee's understanding of photocopiers shows how much time and energy can be spent on a single point of clarification in a lawsuit. The fact that the dialogue is taken -verbatim- from an actual court document only adds to the laugh factor. The actors deliver perfectly and the concept is as fresh as it is mind blowing. This short leaves you wondering just how much more of this trail would have made for excellent cinema. Premiered at Sundance 2014 and garnered nonstop laughter from the audience. This filmmaker clearly has an eye for the obscure and a talent for transforming the mundane into pure comedy.
