This Film was a real treat!
I don't see short films like this being made anymore, it reminds me of Wally White's fun movie about Gay Life in PTown ("Lie Down with Dogs") which was great to see at Gay Film Festivals when other films about gay men were not being made.
But this one is more contemporary than that -- the actors feel like a real couple in Manhattan in 2012. The locations are real and urban, (as well as some locations in upstate NY)... and the comedic acting and timing are fantastic.
It's nice too that it has the theme of Anton Chekhov's classic work of literature, "The Lottery" - great that the writer/director was able to use that theme but tie it into a contemporary gay male relationship and keep it a comedy.
It had me laughing and enjoying it all the way through - I highly recommend it!!
