Great idea, strange ending

Sunday, September 10 3:30 PM PARAMOUNT 3

This 6 minute piece screened before Citizen Duane and explored a fantastic idea. An armed gunman takes two people hostage and forces them to date and get married. And live in suburbia. And raise a kid. And balance the chequebook. And I think you get the idea. The whole thing I watched in stunned disbelief, and by the time it was over I was left with "well, that was kind of nifty"...

The ending could've been better. I could have ended on any note, and it chose the weird note. Whoever was behind this has great creative potential, but should watch old movies like The Italian Job until they learn that the ending of the movie is important.
