Goodness, what an intro. Someone\'s been learning some 3d shiznit it seems.

I love the Man Sex playing on the TV. It\'s a nice fake commercial, fantastic touch to the film. Going from the intro, to the mansex, and then hearing the awful background noise of your camera recording ... it\'s more than a little jaunting. It was all good up until then!

I like the shot of the dryer shaking around. But, why the hell is she in the dryer? Who the hell is she? Are these people living by the laws of the sitcom, that\'s why they have to have X amount of people during three\'s company?

I like the line \"I\'m sorry, I panicked!\" Good delivery, good timing.

So, the intro comes in halfway through the film, kind of odd I guess. It\'s good you kept that background trailer going when you cut from shot to shot. If it was skipping around between the shots I\'d be angry.

Wow, that\'s some disturbing facial hair. I\'d suggest not zooming in and out like you were, with the shaky cam. I know you wanted a close-up kind of awkward feeling to it, but something about the way it moves around is odd, and doesn\'t match up well with everything else.

Blur is an okay effect for drunk, but I think that echo would be better. Blur makes it look like he just forget his glasses. Echo and some kind of distortion.

Alright, so, the girl\'s dead, and now he\'s got to pretend to be a girl ... maybe some shots setting up the girl beforehand, before she died in the dryer 69 ... so we have an idea of what she looked like before, making seeing him dressed up pretending to be her more funny.

The first half and the 2nd half ... I mean they don\'t flow together at all. Truly odd. Some kind of resolution of some kind would have been nice. The pacing was jaunting and confusing. If you\'re going to have a VO at the end, it would have been much better to have a VO through the whole thing so we kind of know who the main character is.

Nice computer animated jazzy intro. Good call having your one homosexual friend play the father, because those scenes were just as uncomfortable as you wanted them to be. I liked the abrupt voice-over, like all of a sudden we were in an art film. It was jarring and interesting.

Ehhhhh, had it\'s moments. Acting was pretty shit-tacular. You need to try to make your lighting softer too......Some pretty funny writing
