I understand that this thing kinda blew up and I guess I missed it. My internet was off for most of 2008. Or I was totally into porn. No way of telling what happened that long ago.
I watched this mainly because I figured the running time of 42 minutes meant if it sucks..it’ll be over soon. Kinda like a girl (think about it).
I can’t stand musicals and this one doesn’t disappoint. I really don’t get where the whole genre came from and why it keeps on going. No one bursts into song in real life, so what the fuck. Maybe people want to?
Still, I found that I sat through this whole thing. The characters were fun, some of the dialogue was awesome (particularly at the 25 minute mark), and the story was simple enough that you are in it pretty quickly. And the last line of the movie drove it all home. Quirky and odd. And just a little sweet in a Shaun of the Dead way.
Shot on a shoestring for web release, no one was paid. When it was successful enough to release to DVD, they paid cast and crew and all their debts. No studios, totally indie, tottally the way movies should be made…embracing new outlets. Pretty pimp.
A for effort. Watch it right now streaming on Netflix.
