Bald Ambition

W: Shane Lubojacky, David Lamattina; D: Lamattina; with Shane Lubojacky and Sal Koussa

Cutesy intertitles threaten to push this 10-minute farce into the realm of the aggressively whimsical, but it’s hard to stay mad at such a goofy little comedy. Take two bald guys (Lubojacky and Koussa), make them “adoptive brothers,” give them whopping religious differences, and crank up the soundtrack (which alternates between melodramatic Francopop and “Jesus Real Loud” by Ray Boltz), and you have this movie. Oh yeah, and there’s a water balloon. Funny shit. – Marrit Ingman
