    Fun and funny short film

    I have no idea why this film is scoring so low on imdb. If you're into quirky characters who manage to tell a unique tale and wonderful writing that manages to still make into a relatable one, then this is for you.

    Loved it!

    Pleasantly surprised and well written. The pace was good and the characters were believable and at times funny. I love a blockbuster and action movie but this movie was refreshing. Touched a little bit on racial inequalities and social quirkiness without being threatening and the relationship between the husband and wife was believable and funny. Sunday afternoon movie with a bottle of wine methinks. Enjoyable.

    Testament of brilliant script writing

    This film is 80minutes but it is complete. Its comparable to a good healthy meal vs the processed food that is hollywood these days. Almost every movie is over 2hrs to hide poor plots and regurgitated storylines. This story is unique and extremely entertaining. I personally watched it twice within 2 days. No big budget...no big marquee stars....none of that is necessary for a quality story. Not going to give any of the plot away...just encourage anyone who loves art, comedy and non corny love stories to check this out....it is brilliant.

    As its name says, it fitted and started

    I am surprised that it is quite good, especially that actor Wyatt Cenac as David. Also have to say that Laura Terruso wrote a pretty much good script where there's nothing to add neither to take. Very funny and relaxing movie in which by watching it you will laugh and maybe recognize yourself somewhere. I really enjoyed. :)
