Brainy-2

I stumbled on to this short, because it came packaged as a bonus feature on a DVD with the movie, "Girl Gets Girl" as the main feature

The plot is pretty straight-forward. A woman comes across another woman who is exiting a building while she is entering. They are instantly physically attracted to one another, and on the spur of the moment, decide to head straight for the apartment where the woman who was entering the building lives. They then share an evening of passionate lovemaking. Upon waking up the next day, the two of them finally begin talking, and immediately discover that they are political polar opposites.

I won't go into detail about what happens next, as it would obviously spoil the ending. Overall, I would say that this was well written, well directed and well acted, but hardly profound.

The folks at Yahoo were smart enough to use major babe Milana Vayntrub's face in the thumbnail that linked to this complete mess. It's pretty much unwatchable.

Most of the humor appears to revolve in some way or another around the swishiness of Karan Soni's character. There are a whole lot of other unoriginal stock characters as well, including a bitchy older sister, a burned-out stoner, and a sexy female computer.

In general, the whole thing has the feel of a sub-par five minute Saturday Night Live sketch that someone unwisely decided to stretch into a full half-hour. For genuinely funny humor revolving around the crew of a spaceship, stick with Futurama.

I just watched this episode on YouTube. It was my first experience with the show, which I viewed out of curiosity. If this is typical of the series, chances are, I won't be watching too many other episodes. There were so many elements that simply made no sense at all. There's a scene where she's walking down the street, and people are handing her huge wads of cash for seemingly no reason whatsoever. And where exactly does one go to "rent kids" for anything?

I'm giving it three stars, because Miss Hutton does deliver one (and only one) humorous quip that still holds up and would be considered funny in any context. I can easily imagine Marge Simpson saying this:

"You're now witnessing before your very eyes, the greatest transformation of the ages. I'm changing from a sensitive, naive person into a bitter, cynical, uncaring person. In other words, I'm gonna become a human being!"
