A young man buys the Four Disc Collector's Edition of Pearl Harbor and a downward spiral of horrible events ensue.

-Great film. The comedy will especially ring true for lovers of movies, and haters of Pearl Harbor. The cast is young and funny, and the dialogue is equally as effective. The camera work is also incredibly impressive. The use of a crane shot is also amazing, especially for something like a short film. The film won a whole lot of awards and deserved them all. This tale will relate to so many people who buy DVD's and who love film. There are many special editions in life, and this one turns into a wacky, funny, side-splitting comedy. I loved this film, as its professionalism and amazing sense of style reminds me of what making movies is all about. Slick, witty, and outrageously funny!
