Great production value and a novel premise.

With a radical concept like this one it would be easy for this to turn into a feminist manifesto of sorts. The filmmakers skilfully avoided this and instead produced a fun and funny short that can make men and women alike giggle at the double-standards we all see in daily life. The lighting, costume's and cinematography compliment good performances from many recognizable actors. I'm not sure I understand the exact purpose of this film. It's 11 minute runtime plants it firmly in the 'short' category but the quality of the production suggests that someone raised a lot of money to make this film which will be difficult to market and may serve only as a promotional piece or calling card for Five Sisters Productions.

A cute and thought provoking short

This is a cute short that takes us through the process of creating a wedding, only the traditional gender roles are reversed. Jared Hillman makes an appealing presence as the groom, excited about his upcoming big day. Real life couple Jill Eikenberry and Michael Tucker are a treat to watch as his parents. The production values are very strong for a short film.

The whole story tests our notions of gender identity in a clever and thought provoking manner.
