CGiii Comment

3 and a half minutes of opening titles - ridiculous for a short.

And, it's still too long....the shower scene, picking up the soap - oh my, wherever did that inspiration come from?

Lazy time lapse, lazy acting by the support - the lead does the best he can with a dud script.

Monette - go back, review, edit and start again.
