This is a cute little Australian short film that you really need to watch all the way through. That's because the first portion is a bit dull and you may not realize that the film REALLY will shoot into high gear towards the end.

The film begins with a father and son talking about the family's sports legacy. They discuss how this tradition is being passed down for generations and there seems to be a lot of pressure on the son to continue the tradition. A bit later, you see the son practicing playing cricket and you really feel sorry for him with all the family hopes resting on him. When it comes time for the big game, you are in for a HUGE surprise and the film jumps headlong into comedy gold. I can't say any more--I don't want to ruin the joke.

Exceptionally well made. Nicely constructed and great for a laugh. The only reservation I have is that the material is a bit too racy for younger viewers, so be forewarned.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
