Disgusting AND Hilarious! ***WARNING - ABSOLUTE SPOILER!!!***
13 July 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I think this short is fantastic! A quick synopsis - Nick is met by his girlfriend Amanda at a restaurant where she reveals that she's been having an affair with his boss since they met at Nick's company picnic. After Amanda breaks it off with Nick to continue seeing his boss, he calmly replies that he knows what he must now do. He tells Amanda that he's going to have sex with her mother.

Nick goes about seducing Jackie, his former Girlfriend's single mom, all the while Amanda is being driven crazy because she can't get Nick to stop his mission of revenge and she can't convince her mother that she's being used. Jackie is very receptive to Nick's advances, which drives Amanda even further over the edge when she realizes her mother's willingness to take their relationship to "the next level".

We next find Amanda crying her eyes out to Nick at his apartment where she was waiting on the doorstep to confront him about his plans. He uses her vulnerability to further torture her regarding her inability to achieve orgasm during their sexual encounters. Nick consoles Amanda by promising NOT to sleep with her mother.

Cut to the next morning, dressed in pajamas and looking much relieved, Amanda nearly chokes on her juice as she walks into the kitchen to find Jackie cooking breakfast for her overnight guest, Nick. Dressed only in a bathrobe, he motions a sexual hand-gesture at Amanda, as if to confirm her worst fears of last night's events in her mother's bedroom.

The only improvement I would make, Nick should have seduced Amanda one last time during her mini-meltdown at his apartment the night before having sex with her mother. Do I think her mother deserves to be used? Absolutely not but as long as she's fine with the situation who's to judge. This addition would have earned a 10 out of 10 vote from me.
