    Deliciously funny

    This was such a fun watch! The acting, effects and music come together to make a nice, funny and gory story about two friends/lunch ladies, that will literally do anything for each other, and to become Johnny Depps personal chefs. It also left me wanting seconds, so looking forward to hopefully seeing this as a full-length feature or maybe even a series.

    in DEPP love

    So this short was absolutely hilarious . the idea is great, the gore was pretty gross. As a public school teacher I found this movie to be so unique,funny and sadly relatable ! I can't wait for the full length feature ! No doubt in my mind this is going to be a cult movie classic , if it's not already . Mad, mad props ladies .

    just lovely

    A profound seductive dark comedy about passion for Johnny Depp, a huge chance, students and angry result and a not ordinary recipe for meat pie.

    Many virtues -Donna Pieroni reminding Joan Crawford being one of precious ones and a beautiful end.

    Short, just lovely.

    WWJD?

    Greetings again from the darkness. There is only one place where murder, mayhem, meals and Johnny Depp could all come together ... the school lunch room! A comedy-horror short film, if done well, is a certain hit at film festivals, and that's proving to be the case for this fun little gem from director J.M. Logan and writer Clarissa Jacobson.

    Seretta (Donna Pieroni) and LouAnne (Mary Manofsky) are two long time lunch ladies who are beside themselves with excitement. See, they have just received notification that their Cheesy Burger Bites recipe won the contest for a Kids' Charity event sponsored by Johnny Depp. Seretta and LouAnne are such huge fans of Depp that they wear Depp t-shirts, Depp watches, and have a worn out DON JUAN DEMARCO movie poster on the wall. They are also convinced that winning this contest is going to lead directly to their hero hiring them as his personal chefs.

    After a death by plunger (not plunging), the film reminds a bit of the 1982 classic EATING RAOUL, with a couple of nods to FARGO and THE BIG LEBOWSKI. It's a fun and clever little film that asks "WWJD" (What would Johnny do?).

    I hope this was only an appetizer

    Lunch Ladies got it all right. If you want gore, you'll get it. If you want to laugh, you'll get that, too. The lunch ladies go to great lengths, and great depths, to make their way to Johnny Depp. The special effects were way too on-point for what must have been a very low budget short. The cinematography was a thing of beauty. The first cafeteria scene is something to behold. And the final cafeteria scene, well, I'll see you for lunch. Please let this be made into a feature film.

    • Trivia
      48 pie tops were made of salt dough and varnished, a hot glue gun was used to attach the tops to pie tins. 25-30 real pies were made. 20 pounds of flour was used and the meatloaf was made from cheap very fatty ground beef, SpaghettiOs and Saltine Crackers - a big loaf of greasy gristle with wormy looking bits - yummy.

      01:40, bottom of the letter reads, "P.S. airfair not included". That would be correctly spelled as "airfare".
