Lunch Ladies

With a great script, amazing actors work and such good scene transitions, Lunch Ladies turned me upside down in a very funny way. The gory tone was used with perfection to improve and make the narrative even more surrealistic and funny. And what could I say about Johnny Depp's presence? The letter, the movie poster, the t-shirt... Everything connects and makes everything funnier. Thanks for creating this amazing story, Clarissa! Can't wait to see a feature filme of this masterpiece. Keep Rocking Ladies!

A hug from your new fan from Brazil! :)

So this short was absolutely hilarious . the idea is great, the gore was pretty gross. As a public school teacher I found this movie to be so unique,funny and sadly relatable ! I can't wait for the full length feature ! No doubt in my mind this is going to be a cult movie classic , if it's not already . Mad, mad props ladies .

Greetings again from the darkness. There is only one place where murder, mayhem, meals and Johnny Depp could all come together ... the school lunch room! A comedy-horror short film, if done well, is a certain hit at film festivals, and that's proving to be the case for this fun little gem from director J.M. Logan and writer Clarissa Jacobson.

Seretta (Donna Pieroni) and LouAnne (Mary Manofsky) are two long time lunch ladies who are beside themselves with excitement. See, they have just received notification that their Cheesy Burger Bites recipe won the contest for a Kids' Charity event sponsored by Johnny Depp. Seretta and LouAnne are such huge fans of Depp that they wear Depp t-shirts, Depp watches, and have a worn out DON JUAN DEMARCO movie poster on the wall. They are also convinced that winning this contest is going to lead directly to their hero hiring them as his personal chefs.

After a death by plunger (not plunging), the film reminds a bit of the 1982 classic EATING RAOUL, with a couple of nods to FARGO and THE BIG LEBOWSKI. It's a fun and clever little film that asks "WWJD" (What would Johnny do?).

I loved this film! I wasn't sure what to expect, but that turned out to be a good thing. It was unlike anything I've seen before, and I loved every minute. The casting of the lunch ladies was perfect, the story was original, heartwarming (is that appropriate to feel while watching a horror film? Yes!) and hilarious. Also, it's visually amazing. Even if you're not into dark comedy/horror, the set design, decoration and choreography (yes, you read that correctly) are worth the watch. I know it's a short film, but I wasn't quite ready for it to end. Definitely one that I'd love to see as a feature. It's that much fun!

Lunch Ladies got it all right. If you want gore, you'll get it. If you want to laugh, you'll get that, too. The lunch ladies go to great lengths, and great depths, to make their way to Johnny Depp. The special effects were way too on-point for what must have been a very low budget short. The cinematography was a thing of beauty. The first cafeteria scene is something to behold. And the final cafeteria scene, well, I'll see you for lunch. Please let this be made into a feature film.
