Hardly original but will appeal to fans of The Office and David Brent
Gary is unique. Being born near midnight on 31st December 1969, he is officially the last child born in the sixties. This documentary joins up with as part of a rolling documentary to see where, at the age of 35, his life has brought him. We join him where he has separated from his last partner and is now living alone in Wales.
Although it is hardly unique, this short film will appeal to those who enjoyed The Office or various mockumentaries type films made by the BBC recently. Like the former, we focus on one man who is really a very small little man and the camera just lets him hang himself just like David Brent himself. However for every point it loses in the originality stakes, it scores in the laughs category. Gary (writer, director and producer Ludders) does lots of little things that reveal to be a very sad sack but, like Brent, his words paint him as a much grander person altogether and it is the contrast between his vision and reality that is funny. It works very well and, although I wasn't rolling, I was responding to the action with the odd laugh, "ugh" or moment of pity; all of which were enough to make me glad I watched it.
Overall nothing original but it is a nice little short that will appeal to fans of The Office and such.
