This Contains spoilers: I recently watched this short as I am big into the Indie films. I was impressed with the cast, especially Christina Sampson (Barbera Sue Kelly). She has great facial expressions, a nice voice, and she is very beautiful. I see big things going on for her in the future. Roberto Lombardi (Bobby Green) also had a notable performance. John Chisholm (Marv) looked the part. His voice was nervous when called for and he matched the role. The acting was flawless and the lines were delivered all in timely manners. The idea of the film hit on real life situations. It was about people trying to be and become someone their not. It flowed nicely and it was easy and fun to watch. You will experience laughs at unexpected places and finding yourself relating to at least one of the characters. All in all I say its a go.

Very Good! Different take on a familiar theme, but...

Warning: Spoilers
*SPOILERS* I recently bought a copy of 'Just Like Me' because I am a fan of indie films & in particular one of the actors (Roberto Lombardi) who is in this film.
The film is about a half hour long and is the story of Bobby Greene (Lombardi) a comedian who thinks he needs to be more serious to find love and Marv Holtz (John Chisholm) a psychologist who wants to be funnier for the same reason. Barabara Kelly (Christina Sampson) places 2 ads in a singles paper because she doesn't know what she wants.
Both Bobby & Marv wind up dating Barbara but none of them realize it! As for the story, it's a familiar love triangle theme that is an interesting story with a surprise twist at the end. The 3 lead roles are acted very well, as well as the supporting roles of Buddy (Art Lyle) & Sheila (Jennifer Wiener). Dolores Lombardi is also very funny as Mrs. Nuesbaum, a patient of Marv's that has a fish phobia! Lombardi's comedy club routines are also very funny! I took a point away for production value. While the visuals are fine, the audio track is a little hard to hear in a couple of places. The music in the film is perfect & fits the film well.
Not 100% perfect, but I'd still recommend this pretty highly!
