The Delicious

Scott Prendergast is a genius... well maybe not a genius, but he's got a great, twisted sense of humor. Again, he delivers snortworthy laughs with The Delicious, a film about a man who's found his calling in life... his calling: The Delicious.

In this short an urban man and his wife have their weird lives set akimbo when the man takes to wearing an old red pants suit of his mother in law's.

I kept watching this hoping that I could see why it had been made, or why the other reviewers found it funny. For me it was a total waste of time.

Not everyone's tastes are the same but this was clearly not to mine.

Saw "the delicious" at the Bumbershoot festival in Seattle over Labor Day weekend. It was in a program of shorts, but the audience pretty clearly chose it as the favorite. Lots of laughter in the party scene, and also when the wife catches him. Same guy had a short in the fest last year. He was not at the screening. It was awesome!

I saw "The Delicious" last night as part of the 2004 Sydney Mardi Gras Queer Screen festival and thought it was brilliant. It's very well crafted in terms of writing, structure, visual expression - and absolutely hilarious! Scott Prendergast is definitely a film maker to watch. You saw him here first...

every once in a while you stumble upon something and you say to yourself, "ahhhh, this was made by my people!" this short is just brilliant. simple, yet rich. we need to see more from mr. prendergast. comedy is in dire need of more fellas like this. if he doesn't succeed, i have no faith in the future of comedy.

you can find "the delicious" on the first mcsweeney's "wholphin" quarterly DVD, along with a bunch of other pretty fantastic pieces. subscribe. you won't be disappointed (no, i don't work for mcsweeney's, but frankly, i wish i did).

viva la delicious!
