Despite being a comedy, the short film succeeds in constant twists and turns, taking you on a path different to the one you thought you were venturing down. Not only does the finale also succeed in misdirection, but there’s a certain water-spurting sequence which is both hilarious and genius, almost feeling like a homage to samurai cinema.

This movie is the right amount of silly…

With perfect pacing, this movie is the right amount of silly, it’s not afraid to be goofy and is balanced out nicely with humorous dialogue which is delivered by a tremendously funny cast.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
