Paul Warner’s short comedy film centers around the neurotic tendencies of a man who receives spiritual advice from a talking fish in a local park. The concept of the film is intriguing, but sadly the narrative lacks depth and suffers from an overall missing character development. However, the film raises some chuckles here and there, despite its general flaws.
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.
