Warner’s comedic touch and awkward persona throughout the film are appreciated, though they hardly deliver or scratch beyond surface-level humor. Although the film’s one-note joke language feels more gimmicky than fore-warding the premise, everything plays out as expected – “improperly,” according to mainstream societal standards.
Technically, the film is acceptable for its short length. The sound is clear while the shots are aesthetically fine. But that’s all that can be said- There are no extraordinary improvements to the project, and it doesn’t explore beyond the ordinary short film experience. Overall, Paul Warner’s film is good enough for an enjoyable couple of minutes, and nothing greater than that.
