Care & Repair

A banter-filled comedy with a startling twist.
5/5

Review

‘Care & Repair’, the short comedy drama directed by Michael Cooke, is a delightful rollercoaster of humor and unexpected twists. The film delves into the banter-filled world of tradesmen tasked with removing a boiler from an old man’s house. Michael Cooke and John Cooke shine as the bickering siblings, Stevie and John, bringing their characters to life with genuine emotion and impeccable comedic timing. Hunter Bishop adds depth to the trio as Neil.

The story’s brilliance lies in its ability to balance sibling rivalry, friendship dynamics, and workplace pressures, creating a rich tapestry of human connections. The film’s true magic, however, lies in its dialogue exchanges, which are witty, sharp, and portrayed with remarkable authenticity by the stellar cast. The unexpected twist takes the narrative to unprecedented heights, leaving viewers astounded and thoroughly entertained.

Cinematographer Szabo Kovac Gabor’s work is visually stunning, capturing the essence of the characters and their surroundings with finesse. The film’s seamless transitions and expert framing elevate the viewing experience, providing a professional finish to the production.

This short is a testament to working-class comedy at its finest. With its genuine humor, stellar performances, and surprising plot twist, this short film is a must-watch for anyone seeking an engaging, laughter-filled cinematic experience.

Brief Synopsis

Stevie, John and Neil are three working class friends doing their best to earn a living under the guidance of their hard-nosed boss Geo. Together, they work like a well-oiled machine but Stevie feels he owes his brother John a living and takes him under his wing. However, no good deed goes unpunished and John burdens Stevie with his easy-going attitude and lack of work ethic.

Today is no different when John’s curiosity and stupidity leads Stevie and Neil into an impossible scenario that goes from bad to worse and pushes the boundaries of family and friendship.
