deadpan acting

I thought this film was a nice little comedy about the stresses that come from being out of work while trying to maintain a relationship. I also thought it had some effective examples of how to do comedy in an understated, deadpan manner. Given the subject matter, sometimes such a comedy will use more of an "in your face style." However, in the case of this film, I felt like the actors, especially Eraiem Hanna, deliver some of the lines in a more matter of fact way, which makes them even funnier. For example, I like how Tom (Hanna's character) pleads with his girlfriend to stop hitting him. He also has a nice line that involves aspirin. The look on his face and his delivery of the line make it really effective. The film offers some good examples of how to deliver funny lines without being too obvious about it.
