Name: Momma's Boy
Genre: Drama
Released: 2002-08-22
Cast: Amy Raasch, Russell Bell, Joe Fria

Working in film, I have to sit through more than my fair share of shorts. Admittedly, these pieces are usually largely done by first-time or burgeoning filmmakers, actors, and writers. Having said that, I realize and have come to expect questionable dialogue, pacing, cinematography, etc. That's part of the genre. But the ACTING in this short film, especially the hideous work of the younger female Raasch really makes this piece especially painful to watch. Frankly I've seen more moving performances in adult films. Don't get me wrong, shorts *can* be good, even great. But after sitting through this schlock I find myself prompted to write a review in the hopes of helping others! Save yourself.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
