Not a comedy..

This movie is advertised as a comedy but it's a drama in all aspects of the word. The way that it was shot reminded me of Eternal Sunshine with a less talented camera operator. A lot of the film looks like its done with a hand-held and there are some choppy edits.. but overall its a worth watching movie.

Some reviews on here say that the script is lacking and there is no point to it.. "a waste of time". It's not, it is a short movie that gives you a glimpse into their lives and the decision that they made.

The end leaves you questioning and lets you decide for yourself what to believe. Not everybody's cup of tea, but it's worth the 77 minutes..
