Jaime Moyer is a Hoot but her sister needs a chill pill

Pretty good for a low-budget short with generally good, nearly professional production values. Decent editing, quite good players, but Jaime Moyer is a crack-up and a stand-out. She seems to be a naturally funny actor and would definitely like to see more of her. But what's up with the sister? Definite phat phobia. I was also a bit puzzled by the "here's Mom's rent" line that ran throughout the patter between sisters. Might have been meaningful to bring Mom into the picture a little bit - maybe it would have explained the sister's phear of phat. Never saw 21 Grams, so I don't know if the plot of 21 Carbs plays off that film or not, but the voice-over that ponders where the fat goes when I lose it, does someone else gain it, etc. may relate.
