St. Mathurin's School of Practical Joking

This is a very clever short comedy that in many ways is reminiscent of Hogwarts from the Harry Potter stories. However, instead of a school of magic, this is one of practical jokes! Students are chastised when they DON'T chew gum in class or let off stink bombs and this place looks like every child's dream school. However, there is a dried up old prune who is determined to close down the place with the help of a seemingly out of place student who just can't carry on the school's fine tradition of tomfoolery!

The idea is very clever and I enjoyed the film from start to finish. I particularly liked how they chose such conservative looking old men to play the roles of teachers--seeing this dichotomy heightened the fun. Another thing I liked is that this short is one you can enjoy with your kids as well.
