This short film, which runs for little under 12 minutes, has in retrospective one of the most impressive cast and crew for a short film since the new millennium. It has the writer from "Legally Blonde" and "The House Bunny" and the star from the latter, Anna Faris, known to many also from her work in the Scary Movie franchise. Also on board are (then-not-yet) Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer and Larry Miller, not that famous, but a personal favorite, who put the Poole in "Crane, Poole & Schmidt".
Unfortunately the story was not half as interesting as the people involved with it, which dragged the whole project down considerably. Faris plays a single mom who's an actress and keeps auditioning for projects, with little success unfortunately. When she gets rejected once again for the role as a doctor, she visits her sister, who works at a hospital, afterward and ends up mistaken for a real doctor. As much as it underwhelmed on the comedic level, it also didn't really deliver on the drama. The scene where her sister tells her for example that being a mom is enough, left me rather unattached. So yeah, give this one a go, if you like the other projects by those involved, otherwise you can definitely skip it.
