It's pizza time! But a quick spot ya for the lack of wallet preparedness creates a rift in friendship for payback and shows what lengths people will go to when they need to stand their ground on principles.
Adding to the awkwardness of the matter is the blink and you miss it fact that the delivered food contains a surprise prize that should mean the payback is a non issue. But some people just go about life with blinkers on...
For mine this one is a hard one to review because you had some really clever ideas for set pieces; the K Pop stand in, the mugging gone wrong, the pointless toy keyboard bought on a whim before someone goes to Europe. But yet whilst we knew our dramatic question so early on (SHE WANTS HER 5 DOLLARS BACK; HOW WILL SHE GET IT BACK)...what was so 'impossible' about the situation? The stepping on eggshells to avoid asking directly seemed relatable, but just made it hard to buy into the desperation to get the money back.
Final joke with the lipstick was good, and the film sounded nice and had good colour play throughout. But for mine the film would have been much better with some more polished framing and a tighter more cinematic edit.
Story: 2/5
Technical: 2/5
Elements: 2.5/5
Overall: 2/5
