Cute and very watchable, 9 May 2008
7/10
Author: planktonrules from Bradenton, Florida

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

This is a student film, so my expectations are lower than a big-budget Hollywood production. It was very entertaining and well made, though even for an independent film, its CG was not great--very watchable but also looking a bit older in style than a film from 2005. But, aside from this, the music, style and pace was very good--and very clever.

The film has no dialog and consists mostly of a man trying to get some sleep but is interrupted by a mosquito in his room. Instead of ignoring it, he chases it about endlessly and destroys much of his room. Then, towards the end, the film switches to the perspective of the mosquito family in a clever twist---though I feel compelled to point out that despite the film indicating they do, male mosquitoes do NOT drink blood (oops).
