Soft and Engaging
tedg5 June 2005
It is easy to make a movie. Anyone can do it.

To judge from experience, it is harder to make an endearing or engaging one. But there are enough of these as well. This is one.

But as with making a baby, it is easy enough to make one that when you first meet it you fall in love with how endearing and guileless it is. But to give it shape and depth is another thing.

This IS endearing and if that is what you like, I suggest you seek it out.

But the contract we have is to have the filmmaker take us somewhere once they have us by our grins and tears. Lets hope this filmmaker takes advantage of us next time.

Ted's Evaluation -- 3 of 3: Worth watching.

You'll laugh, then you'll cry because you're laughing so hard

Everything about this short film is terrific. Claudia Karvan and Niky Wendt are engaging, sunny, and convincing as our mothers-to-be. Kelli Simpson's script is out of this world, not an extra word; it's touching at moments, but mostly it's dead-on funny. For me at least, this film is a look at how couples make a decision, how they talk to their families about it, some of the emotions along the way, and how the decision can play out. In the end, this short film is also about Simpson's generous spirit. Stay for the credits: Renee Geyer's music rocks.
