    Box Office

    I watched this recently and can see it being the next big sex summer comedy. I didn't recognize the actors, except for maybe one, but all did a great job. The part when the two guys are talking about "shooting puppies," as in filming on camera is very funny. The dog director's face is priceless and his lawyer friend is very animated throughout the scenes. The humping pug and the hot girl's husband/Charles in panties was a riot and also unexpected. The leads were very natural and had good timing. Good film making, good actors, witty dialogue and a fun story line...you can't go wrong. It actually reminded me a bit of Hangover, American Pie and Grandma's Boy put together. What I really like is that this type of film is current and really in right now- Seth Rogen, Apatowesque. It definitely pushes the envelope but in a smart way. I would like to see more from this crew and predict they will be the next big comedy box office success.

    Hysterical! -

    his rocks!! Tristan played by Malek Hanna is awesome...I need to see more of him. The lines are so funny and the actors are all great. I am very excited to see the full length feature. Looks like a bunch of very talented actors; I would like to see more of them on the big screen. the editing and how it was shot is definitely very comical and captures the audience's attention. Job well done and looking forward to seeing more from the leads in future film and television projects. The plot is definitely very indicative of what is happening in today's culture. The discovery of one's identity in the midst of a media saturated world is captured through very real characters played by strong actors. Tristan, who plays a frustrated dog food commercial director has to choose between his career and the love of his life, a reality that so many people have to deal with. The struggles of being in your late 20's -early 30's and the expectations one faces in today's socioeconomic climate are prevalent in this piece. Eddie, another strong character and actor, played by Yanni Kratsas definitely brings a comedic relief and personifies the stereotypical egotistical and self indulgent lawyer who ultimately has a heart and reveals his vulnerability just as Tristan does once faced between the girl or the career. The chemistry between the two leads is apparent and the cast just clicks! Two thumbs--way up!!
