This is certainly one of the stranger short films I've recently watched. For one thing, unlike 99% of the short films out there, this one has recognizable Hollywood stars--Billy Bob Thornton and Mickey Jones. While Jones isn't a name you'll probably recall, you no doubt have seen him in dozens of TV shows (such as "Home Improvement"). For another, the plot is just totally weird--and I mean REALLLLY weird! Most of the short involves Thornton and Jones having a conversation that is completely bizarre considering they both are rough and tumble cowboys. Apparently Jones had heard something about his "inner child" and he now wondered if maybe he needed to get in touch with his lost youth. So, out of the blue, he begins skipping about like an idiot! The best part about all this is the dialog--it's really surreal and bizarre--something you really need to hear for yourself.
While I loved the acting and idea, I must say that the film ends on a real downer! While this film may not be for all tastes, it is funny and actually has a lot to say about masculinity and the gender roles we in which we are forced to conform.
