I like this idea --- pretty cute. Problem is that you've got to use a lot of copyright music to actually make it work. Unless you're making these songs yourself which is cool. Audio is pretty bad on this. Watch the continuity of your cuts. Like at 00:57. Hand on cheek, hand not on cheek. Minor but there are many instances of this throughout.

Acting is very wooden.

Hey, it's one of those crazy zoom out focuses! Almost got it, doesn't look great though. Not sure the wipes are needed. I like the drive up scene. Did it work?? Did you actually do it?

He's not really selling this 'macho' thing - I wish the relationship angle was the angle the whole time! I think it's the most compelling - him just with his bros, less compelling. People love LOVE stories! At 02:50 I can see the camera man's shadow -- why not just step up closer and avoid that? Or zoom in the frame so you can't see. Lots of fixes for that.

Ha, the end is kinda funny.

Wasn't feeling the acting in this, I liked the idea but it relied on copyright music, and I feel I've seen similar stuff before. Shooting needs a lot of work, audio needs a lot of work - sorry, lightweight this week guys! Take these and the rest of the tips the film fighters give ya and come back with something awesome!

Thank you for taking the time to write a review! Yes, if I said that this piece could have been better, that would have been an understatement. I will also stop using copyrighted material in the future. Thanks for the constructive criticism, and I will definitely enter other Film Fights competitions in the future.

A unique concept and it took some time to write this and dig up all the tunes you'd need. It's a shame it's all copyrighted material. It was still a good idea.

This was a really good idea, and put together fairly well. Although, Justin and those guys prefer film fighters to stay away from copyright music. This was very funny and I enjoyed it. This could be MW material, very close!
