Short, fun, funny short

Chad Peter, a man who does or used to have, a crush on Natalie Portman... and founded NP2K. This is the first in his thus far incomplete(he is still working on the last part) trilogy, Sex, Drugs and Natalie Portman. He shows a clear understanding of the principles of film-making, as well as a good sense of humor. The plot is quite good, and develops throughout, and in spite of many twists(do yourself a favor and do not read the plot summary, it'll give almost all of it away), it never becomes too complicated, and you can follow and keep track all the way(without it being boring, either). The pacing is fast, but not too much so, this is never overwhelming to watch. The acting isn't bad, and it never becomes downright poor. The writing is great, all the way. Dialog is well-done. Technically speaking, this is a nicely produced indie, with favorable quality of sound and image, and the cinematography and editing are reasonable and spot-on, respectively. Music is well-chosen. The outtakes for this aren't too bad, either, if slow at points. As the title'll tell ya, there is some mature material herein, though there is no nudity and the language isn't too harsh. The comedy is magnificent, and if you enjoy the quirky, slightly off-beat brand that this is, you're likely to find this very entertaining. I certainly did. I recommend this to any fan of indie comedy, and aforementioned type of such. 7/10
