Small Talk

I like the overall intention of the short, a senior who lost his wife meets somebody younger that opens his eyes to possibly getting back out there. But, the downfall is the writing of the child character and I would say he was miscast. In the short it states he's 8 and 3 quarters and they have him acting and talking over the man, as if the child's 5 years old. I also found it odd the way they made the 8 year old so obsessed with girls (one example being the end where he went to try to pick up a teenage girl). It has a sweet ending for the older man though.
