The premise is simple yet ripe for comedic and dramatic exploration: troubled times call for a troubled hero. And Montgomery Von Chance III is troubled indeed.
A quirky and surprisingly wonderfully film that champions the underdog. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique cinematic experience that challenges the traditional hero narrative.

I enjoyed this films approach to the main character. Funny and unique. I recommend the watch especially with all the superhero movies we have seen to date. This is a treat and a breath of fresh air. I had to give this movie three watches to grasp what was happening due to laughing the entire first two watches. McCarthy's films seem to all have something in common they are enjoyable, fun and make you think about yourself. Having to look within ones ownself to sometime find the answers that have been all around the entire time. Again I look forward to experiencing more films and shows done by McCarthy.
Making such a good fun of narcissist is not just eyes opening but also makes you laugh a lot. The family dinamic main caracter has, in a very funny way explains a lot about his personality, specially his unawareness about himself and his behavior. On one hand you see trauma of a suppressed little angry boy, on another hand it's very funny to watch what he does and his creativity actually quite impressive!
I really enjoyed watching it and would watch it again!
Thank you for making such fun and entertaining short movie.
Also I like short movies very much and I think more attention should be given to short comedy movies like this one.

It's always a treat when a writer director is able to poke fun at themselves. Going out on a limb and volunteering to be the brunt of the joke isn't something everybody can do. Others have much too big an ego to have any self-satirizing humor. The themes being satirized in this short film are the macho ego and the need to always be a "hero" and make excuses for one's own short comings. In a way the main character represents an unchecked ego. An ego that wants to dream big and imagine itself as this grand respected hero. But nevertheless, they are simply living in a fantasy world. This showcases the need for fantasy to escape harsh reality.

I like stories about antiheroes. This guy sounds like...a special case. Movie makes him an interesting character. Sean McCarthy does a good job playing an absolute wreck of a person as well as just delusional. I like the whole mockumentary format. I also like how McCarthy is trying to see a human side to this character even when the character himself seems to have just an inflated impression of himself that he can't see some of the self-damage that he inflicts by continuing to make the wrong choice. It is always bold to have a main character that you actively root against, yet you also feel sympathy for him at the same time.
