User Reviews

A great, funny 48-hour film

An excellent short comedy about a marriage counselor who obsesses over his only teaching aid: a pine two-by-four. It also focuses on two of his patients who turn out to be hired killers with a troubled partnership.

This was created originally for the Atlanta 2005 48-Hour Film Project and won the Audience Award for it's group. Great performances and lots of dynamic camera movement make it look like they had a month to shoot it.

Ted Huckabee and Chris Burns stand out, but the whole cast is solid and they seem to be having a good time.

OK I'm out of things to say but I have to put in the required number of lines. If you ever get a chance, see this movie. It rocks.
