    Quite fun

    Going in the best I can remember since I've seen this a few months ago. A dark humored short film revolving around the lives of folks who work at a drugstore where anything can happen, from lousy employees who can't serve the customers in proper ways, or just spend their time distracting themselves with other occupation instead of working to a crazed pharmacist/boss who loses it right in the first moments of the film (no way to understand what happened except that he went nuts and scared the hell of everyone who was there).

    That was "Hard to Swallow" and unlike the title says it's quite a digestible and amusing project - if only they got longer or expose a little more about the reasons behind everything that was shown. Not sure if the idea was to expand this into a feature film or a series (it reminds a lot of "The Office", the interview style with characters working for some company) but if wider and expansive, it could be hilariously great because all the good elements for comedy are there...even the "darker" tones found in here. 8/10
