Thank you reviewer 'boblipton' on this board for his thoughts on "Little Stabs at Happiness"; his sentiments are the same as mine. When this film was originally screened for a New York City, Charles Theater audience, it was met with equal parts applause and derision. I would have tipped the scales in favor of those booing. The first sequence of this short has a male character putting out a cigarette in a plastic doll's eye, followed up by chewing on it's crotch. It's really rather disgusting and recommends one stop right there rather than be subject to more abuse from the film maker. I soldiered on however, and even though the remainder of the picture wasn't as garish, it didn't make much sense either. At a run time of fifteen minutes, this is about fifteen minutes too long, which is probably the only proper thing I can say about it.
