This is probably one of the weaker films directed by Michael Thomas Dunn. Still, Dunn has a tenacity to capture a genre and make it his own. He knows exactly what a film needs to satisfy the genre's fans and then he adds his own trademark elements.
He seems to like 'retro' films. This film stars Greg Mackie as a college student in modern times. Yet, it is a Black and White silent film that uses slapstick similar to films with Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton.
Mackie is great in the starring role. A man seeking out to do the best he can, but goofs up occassionally with humorous results (the Leonardo DiCaprio gag is darn funny). The film runs short, but it never tries to pretend to be anything else than simple entertainment -- and it delivers.... right on time.
