    ★★★★ Watched 12 May, 2013 1

    ★★★★★ Watched 12 May, 2013 1

    A plot born from a pun and pushed to ridiculous extremes. The perfect short film.

    But its so loaded with wit, excessive characters and great action that you can't help but be swept along. Admittedly, it loses itself slightly…
