At the start of this film I thought it was going to be another depressing reality short movie but then up jumped a goose sock puppet or maybe Danny is a duck or an ostrich not quite sure? Either way the film quickly turned from a reality check to a comedy situation mocking real life in a way I have always enjoyed probably dating back to the days I used to watch the Muppet's destroy a stage production.
The story is about Danny living a very ordinary life in Scotland, he works in a dull call centre but hates the job with a passion. Danny lives with a puppet monkey who sits around the flat all day eating junk food and watching daytime TV, the interaction between the two characters is witty and enjoyable and you instantly warm to both even though they are both one of life's losers.
Danny's life is detailed in the film with his story going from bad to worse but every step of the way even at his lowest points you find yourself laughing at the comments and situation he finds himself in probably because most people can relate to it.
For a short film with a very low budget the acting/production/cinematography and directing is very good but the highlight for me is the writing, Chris and Andy are very talented guys and I look forward to seeing more of their work in the future.
