When she talks about chocolate, that is priceless character building and tells a lot about their relationship. I could sense the second joke going wrong, but the filmmaker teases with the obvious and delivers an unexpected punch. The problem with most feature films is they should be short films. Cut away the fat and waste, and most blundering features might make a fine 6-minute film -- but this is certainly one of the best! I describe it to friends as "Shock and Ha-ha-ha."

The special effects doesn't get any more real than what was portrayed in this short. EXCELLENT JOB! This is the type of short films that inspire you to keep getting better.

"film dude" and anybody else wondering how they did this should check out fxphd.com or fxguide.com and listen to/watch their podcasts, the guy who was in charge of the effects is named Mike Seymour and he did an awesome job!
