They completely inhabit their superbly written characters. I've only watched the first two episodes, but the only reason I can imagine wanting to lower my rating after watching the other five is if they kill one or both dogs. We are all in the universe's debt for bringing Jeff Bridges back to us from his cancer and COVID battles. I thought I just liked him, but I think the world would be less without him.
I thought I could watch anything for 17 minutes. I was wrong. I stopped when I was three minutes in, then later on I tried to see how much longer I could force myself to watch it. I lasted through 13 minutes, but then I couldn't finish the other four minutes.
I love bad horror movies. I don't know what this is supposed to be. Was it made by a high school student? Why was this made? And who was this supposed to appeal to? I often say I have the sense of humor of a 13-year-old boy, but none of this a-peeled to me. (See what I did there?) This short is even worse than that failed attempt at humor. I don't think I can find the words to convince you not to waste your time.

Whenever I see someone write that this is the first time they've reviewed a film, I always wonder wonder what film would make me take that step. This is it.
I just finished watching it. I set my DVR to program a bunch of the "Stars in Shorts" films the other day, and this was the first one. I knew nothing about it in advance. As I watched it, I knew I recognized the leads, but couldn't think of their names, and figured I'd check out the credits at the end. My DVR cut it off! After I finished sobbing (from the film not my DVR) I wanted to recommend it to my friends, but I didn't know the title because my DVR started it a little late as well. I had no idea how I was going to be able to find out anything about it. I went to the "Stars in Shorts" website and couldn't see it listed. Luckily I remembered that Garry Marshall and Stephen Collins were in it as well so I was able to find it that way on IMDb.
I was about to link it to my friends, but I read the description and I feel there's no way the film can really be appreciated if you read that first. If I had read it I wouldn't have watched it. Math genius? Wounded animal? No thank you. Then I read the storyline further down the page, and that's pretty much the movie. Talk about spoilers! Why watch it if you're just going to describe it right there?
I was already a Jason Clark fan (even if I couldn't remember his name) from Brothers, but I think his performance in this was flawless. I can't believe a story this powerful can be expressed so fully in so short a time. Everyone associated with this film deserves an award...even the dog :) I think it's remarkable how Howard's struggle in the days after seeing the dog are as clear as day without him having said a word about it.
I don't know how to end this, but I want to tell the "powers that be" that something should be done about the description and storyline. Maybe something simple like, "An unexpected encounter changes a man's life forever." I don't think ANYTHING should be given away.
