First off - your film was stretched oddly when you submitted it - feel free to send it in again if you want your video to look higher quality. I had to fix it myself manually.

Okay, on to the film! So, they're battling like in their minds? Or they're actually in this dark room? I found that somewhat confusing. I get the idea that the world "darkens" around them as they get into this intense battle. Wish that last shot was a wide cut of the dude with his shirt off but they were back in the normal office setting - so it was a 'snap back to reality' kind of thing - would have had more of an emotional funny punch to it as well. Weird that they actually GO to some room to hvae this silly fight, haha.

Love the slapping, very silly. Great actors, great look - that really made this one for me. Solid lighting too. Just think the ending could have been tweaked a bit! You guys are REALLY GOOD! Super pumped to see ya on the site! Stick around, let me know what you think we could do better, as a first-timer.

Overall I give this film a B+

I love your sense of humor! The lighting on the "sumo" is amazing, very sinister. (Tri-force tat? Wicked!!) I like that you went for comedic fight on this one! My only concern here (and it is a very large one I have had on my projects as well) is sound. The slap fighting is cool, but the slap noises are way to subdued.
Great job, keep 'em comin'!

I like that in the begining it was very serious but when the fight started it was funny.

Even though is is approximately as long as the other films it seems much shorter to me maybe because it's just nice, simple and entertaing!

Good job on making this overdramatic. Like the lighting on the fight. The editing is well-timed.
I can't really spot something that's WRONG.
Like Justin said it would've been cool if you changed back to the 'normal office' for the last two shots of the fighting guys.

Very funny. I laughed out loud. The acting in this was very, very good.

I wish I had a more original critique, but mine is the same as a couple of others. It feels very odd at the end once they are called out and not fighting anymore not to be back in the office setting. And the door the last guy comes in is not the same door "pen stealer" comes in. That felt kind of weird.

I thought this was pretty funny, I liked how it devolved into a slap-fight, and the other guy just looked so confused for most of it.

Good job, but some of the lighting could have been a bit softer, kind of overexposed a few scenes near the end.
