  Well, well, Will...
  A review of Commercial Break

  Very well done man. You're a talented dude who successfully pulled off the one man show. Thats no easy feat. The concept was a fresh new take on an all too old and worn concept (faux commercials). I got a laugh out of the different characters and enjoyed a good number of the one-liners. BA-ZING! (rimshots galore). The only critique I have for you on the "something to think... Very well done man. You're a talented dude who successfully pulled off the one man show. Thats no easy feat. The concept was a fresh new take on an all too old and worn concept (faux commercials). I got a laugh out of the different characters and enjoyed a good number of the one-liners. BA-ZING! (rimshots galore). The only critique I have for you on the "something to think about" note, is the "colon blow" concept. SNL did it back in the day under the same exact name and a clever guy like yourself could definitely come up with somehting different/just as effective/better. Also, the spaccoli namesake,...come on dude! Homages are nice and all, but it distracts and detracts from YOU. Just my opinion and who the hell am I anyways, right? All in all a very well executed piece and I really enjoyed it. Look forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks for the view. read

  by patrick thompson on 11/21/2005
  a little to kooky and over acted for my taste. kind of what you would expect a fifteen year old get with a new camera and sometime on his hands would do. it's nice to see him playing with the technology (i.e. split scree / graphics) but overall a silly little film. i would be interested to see what he is doing now.

  Liked it

  Just as much as I did the first time. That's weird, I guess you re-upped it. The irreverent style was cool, the different commercials amusing and well made, excellent audio and well conceived camera and editing. The graphics were also winning. Mr Drinker has a very appealing personality and I liked watching his mind's creation spiel out.

  Good First

  I think that this film was good for what it was. It was funny, with a little bit of sarcasm and a little bit of experimentation. I thought that the split screen effects were not terrible, but it seemed like it almost went with the story that they were trying to get the seven commercials done for the company. I appreciate the fact that you decided to just go and create.... I think that this film was good for what it was. It was funny, with a little bit of sarcasm and a little bit of experimentation.

  At last a film that takes a humours stab at the endless stream of drug adverts that are pumped through our television sets everyday. I like the simplicity of the shots and I think Will might have a future as a good comedy actor. I can't really fault this movie, it's a good example of how to make a good short with zero budget.

  Silly and clever! Great show, by a fifteen year old no less! Great special effects, great split screens and overall great production. You can only get better from here being so young and talented... Oh, I forgive you for borrowing the SNL 'Colon Blow' bit LOL. Good luck to you and continued success!

  i loved it
  A review of Commercial Break
  by stomponmyface on 07/13/2004
  yes, so i loved it. each med commercial was hilarious. it kept me thouroughly amused. if you did all the voices, you're officially totally sweet. the hick placebo character was great.each scene flowed into each other seamlessly, and you did a great job keeping each commercial different and continually entertaining. you are number one! A+, good sir!

  short on budget
  A review of Commercial Break
  by aromanelli719 on 07/12/2004
  well, short on budget, and seemingly short on lots. I also wasnt sure of the whole 7 commercial idea. It felt that all those ideas were just different versions of the same thing...something that gets you better, but its got a whole bunch of side effects..while the attempt at humor was there, it all seemed to obvious. The importance of subtlety should never be overrated.

  Very Clever

  by robotx21 on 07/11/2004
  You're one funny guy. I love how this is a parody on all the stupid medical commercials on TV. This is very funny and entertaining. Good job with use of titles, graphics, and voice over. And I also liked how you cloned yourself. Very clever work, keep it up!

  I don't use that word lightly. Will, man, this is easily the funniest thing I've seen on Triggerstreet (I've got well over 100 reviews). You've really got a gift. If you/re not writing for SNL or making your own sketch show within the next five or ten years I'll eat my shirt. And after reading the film notes, I'm even more impressed that you're so young.

I couldn't come up with that stuff if I tried for two weeks. You really need to get your stuff out there as much as possible and you wil make some noise (trust me, I live in LA in people are constantly hawking inferior stuff). Get it to Conan O'Brien's people, just call or mail it and be persistent, I bet they'd love it! I can't believe that this was six minutes and there wasn't a dull second. This wasn't even hit and miss like almost all sketch comedy, it was all "hits." Too many high points to name, but if I had to pick a favorite sketch it would be the skitzofrenia (spellcheck anyone?) sketch. Really impressed by you Will, I'm going to try and get some folks to check this out. Best of luck, although you won't need it. :) read
