They pull it off
TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews3 April 2008
This is mainly noteworthy on account of how little they had to work with, and how impressive the result is. They had little time and limited set, and what they put together actually does work. The plot isn't bad, and there is enough of it to keep this going for the duration of it. This is a sit-com, with the very unusually chosen back-drop of a dictator state, with the typical characters, types and line of jokes. The camera-work and tone emulate the sub-genre of television-based comedy, and save for perhaps one visual gag(which does become apparent when the punch-line is reached, but if a joke hasn't been realized by the audience before that point...), there's very little to criticize in this department. It is somewhat uneven, and, possibly partially due to how short it is, characterization isn't a strong suit of this. The material varies in quality, but it tends to be consistent in style(if not always terribly logical, there's at least one point...), but the players aren't bad, they embrace it for the very most part. Sound is fine. Editing is more or less spot-on. I recommend this to fans of shorts, indies, Sanderson and/or sitcoms. 7/10
