The Proxy

Before I begin, I will say that I am a huge fan of Stuart Ashen. He's a genuinely funny guy, and that's what I feel is wrong with this short.

Had there not been any humour, the story would have been dark and serious. However, since Ashens is a main character, he must be the comic relief. But that's what was wrong. The humour just felt out of place. Any humour that was there wasn't well timed and felt a bit camp.

The acting isn't bad, but I feel it would've worked better had Stuart not been there. Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing him, but this would have worked without him.

If you've got half an hour to spare, watch it, by all means. Just don't expect to be satisfied. You won't be dissatisfied, but you certainly won't be truly satisfied.
