While the stop-motion clay work is not particularly good for Aardman Studios (known for their great Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep films), the film is clever and well worth a look. In fact, because the claymation seemed a tad simple, I was very surprised to see that it was an Aardman effort.
The film is very simple and consists of an odd looking man (reminicent of Jay Leno, actually) pulling the petals off a flower--you know, doing the old "she loves me...she loves me not" bit. However, in an odd twist, whenever he says the "loves me not", this is accompanied by very bad things that occur to him. But, when he pulls another petal, everything is just dandy. He finally catches on that this is happening and it's very funny when he tries desperately to keep the last petal on the flower--lest it once again unleashed its fury on him! Very cute.
