appalling because a student film have win the academy award for best live action short . my fellow film student and i be hopeful when we watch it . appal because it be so bad . as cornball a it get . it competently make ( you do not question the technical aspect of the film ) and but it utterly charmless and bland and and unfunny . it like watch bad television . it think it a lot good than it be . so and apparently and do the ampas . maybe i shouldn not be at all surprise that it win an oscar . win one these day seem to be more of an insult than a compliment .
