Ha! Funny stuff! Didn't see that ending coming. Congrats on getting it filmed, Pia. Turned out great! :)

Hmm.

Okay - I effing love the premise of this.

The actors were really miscast age-wise - I didn't believe for a minute that those were parents. Kind of messed it up for me.

Should have ended with the wink from Mom.

Don't recall having read this - but - man what a fantastic premise and twist - very clever. I could seriously see a feature here.

This was a student project that I just happened to come across while searching for the same film made by a different director. She had my permission, just never told me about the film. She missed the punchline at the end, so I've asked Don to post the script again in case someone wants to compare. :)

I think I remember reading this going back a bit, Pia.

Really clever. Did not see that twist coming.
They did a nice job on this. I personally might have cast the dad as a teeny bit older, but minor quibble. :)

Okay, that was funny as hell. So jealous I didn't think of it. Good job! This was great.
