I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Undescribable Perfection
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
This is a very pleasant split reel comedy in which the protagonist is overwhelmed by everyone insisting that he buy some New Year's kitsch -- I've been there myself on New Year's Eve, as well on Saint Patrick's Day.For a split-reel, there's an awful lot of variety in what goes on, from the usual chase, to a plethora of special effects shots. It appears that the final gag was cut on the print I saw on Youtube, but it's not as if anything happened that I really didn't expect. Once the inevitability of the gag is set up, its anticipation before the character can see it provides its own humor.The movie was shot a lot darker than most comedies are usually. This might have been simply a decision in printing it, of course, or it may have been a deliberate choice to add a serious undertone to the complaining tone.
