  Just a bit Repetitive.
  A review of The Runner Pt. 2
  by Rhikiri on 10/12/2008
  I was not eager to see what this short film was about when it started because the opening scene began in a very old fashioned style. The title itself was not very interesting either. It made it sound like a biography of someone’s life. There was no actual plot, it was just two people complaining and commenting about their relationship and running. It was funny in the beginning... I was not eager to see what this short film was about when it started because the opening scene began in a very old fashioned style. The title itself was not very interesting either. It made it sound like a biography of someone’s life. There was no actual plot, it was just two people complaining and commenting about their relationship and running. It was funny in the beginning but it somewhat got repetitive towards the end. I was expecting some sudden rise in climax during the film, but nothing special happened. They should have put the couples together towards the end and let them argue it out; it would have added more humour.
  
  The video and audio effect just dragged the video. Well, they were no audio effect whatsoever. The worn out film effect did not give any excitement or realism to the film either, it was out of context. When the couples were talking, you could have changed the camera angles once in a while to get out the repetition. You could have added a host, or at least a host’s voice who was asking questions to add realism. The audio was nice and clear but the video was a bit shaky. The quality of the video would have been better and some sound effects or background noises would have added more realism to the film.
  
  Acting on the other hand was very well done. The lead male character kept his serious look through the story while female convinced me that she was going through a really rough time. The fact that he was an average looking man and not athletic added to the humour. The basketball scene was most humorous scene, especially when he shot and missed. That scene immediately painted the lead character’s personality. The scenes were cut decently and flowed nicely through the duration of the film. The storyline and the intentions of this film were actually humorous but it just didn’t come out too good. read

  Some funny lines
  A review of The Runner Pt. 2
  by Jocephus on 02/06/2007
  I thought this had a good premise, and quite a few really funny lines. Also the footage of the guy playing sports, especially when he is playing catch then tackles the guy, were great. But, the joke runs too long. By the end I was getting bored. Had this been trimmed down to maybe 2:30 mins or so I think it would have been even better.

  I found this hard to enjoy. All the interviews to begin with were hard to be interested in, if only because we don't really know the guy hence the talking about him seems a bit pointless? hmm, maybe I should have watched the first part too!. The stories of sports playing didn't seem very interesting- I guess it just doesn't seem like enough of a subject to make a mockumentary... I found this hard to enjoy.

  The stories of sports playing didn't seem very interesting- I guess it just doesn't seem like enough of a subject to make a mockumentary about. Acting was generally fine, and sometimes the oddness of the runner guy was amusing. read

  i really don't know
  A review of The Runner Pt. 2
  by guyblackcat on 08/13/2005
  I don't know what to say. This was pretty pointless. I undestand pointless, random, humor, believe me I've done puh-lenty of that stuff. I guess I just didn't find this funny at all. Now I will say that the performances were pretty good. I can see that these particular actors have talent. But I guess the writing just kinda fell flat. I didn't hate it. But I didn't...

Now I will say that the performances were pretty good. I can see that these particular actors have talent. But I guess the writing just kinda fell flat. I didn't hate it. But I didn't like it either. It was rather bland. And there were parts I didn't understand. Why is she with him? But it also says in the description that she's his ex, but than what's with the whole running thing? And if it's all just supposed to be random for humors sake, then ya failed. Maybe I need to see part 1. But I guess that's what happens when you have a two parter and someone gets part two assigned to them. Whatever. I don't know. read

  "direction"?
  A review of The Runner Pt. 2
  by Jay Bala on 04/29/2005
  Voices came out nice and clear. Uploaded video qualit is good. I think the actors need better direction. Sometimes when you are in a group, its hard to direct everyone and act at the same time. The documentry had no sense of direction. Tho I understand its a comidy too. It is funny at times. If there is a single recomindation, then it would be: work on your timing...

  Runner Pt 2 Review
  A review of The Runner Pt. 2

  The camera work and lighting were good. The interview style was interesting. The story was mildly amusing. They did a great job of portraying the main character as a dork. However the acting was lacking for the most part. The ex girlfriend was certainly a better actor than the main character. Overall the short came across as a decent effort.

  Very Weird But Funny
  A review of The Runner Pt. 2
  by rez0r on 11/01/2004
  I don't know what to make of this film, it's very weird but in a good way. The acting is very good. It takes talent to deliver dialogue like that and keep a straight face. Technically, the cheap video effects (film scratches) and talking head shots are good in the context of this film. The fact it looks amateurish actually gives the movie an edge.

  Runner review
  A review of The Runner Pt. 2
  by SeaMowse on 10/14/2004
  This movie was a bit too long for me. I got bored about 2 1/2 minutes into it. Some of it could be me though... I'm not a big fan of funning. The camerawork was nice though... both the interview shots and the film-footage. The audio was nice also. I just found it hard to stay interested... too much rambling on and on. Perhaps different footage other than running. Maybe... This movie was a bit too long for me. I got bored about 2 1/2 minutes into it. Some of it could be me though... I'm not a big fan of funning.

  I really loved the first one. This one is just as interesting and humorous. The camerawork is very nice as well as the great edits. The audio is very good. The lighting is pretty good. Good use of locations. Some light music during the shots of the guy and his ex-girlfriend interacting would have been great. A nice, fun effort. Continued Success!
