Judge 1
Positives: Good acting. Love the interplay between the two main characters and the variety of shots and editing for their banter. Very nice setting for your story.
Improvements: Felt like I missed the first scene or two setting up the "rescuers" and the sister and her mystery man. A shot of their restaurant meeting while the other two were surveilling them at the beginning might have set things up a little stronger.

Positives: Stellar. This was fun to watch and well made. Soundtrack and sound effects enhanced the experience (the shoe squeaks!). Great camera work (the angles!). The story made sense and was legitimately funny. The pacing was quick enough to keep it from getting stale but slow enough to allow jokes their room to breathe. And the dance made me laugh out loud.
Improvements: The ice cream scene and the subsequent blooper were unnecessary and kinda confusing since the end of the story was a misunderstanding and not a letdown. Besides that there is very little here for me to criticize! Keep it up! Keep creating! Real talent here.

Positives: This was a ton of fun from beginning to end! Great distinct and engaging characters. This film did a lot with the time it had. I loved the inclusion of animation and the various graphic elements. Also, a handful of really funny visual gags. The ending was very funny, and refreshingly wholesome! Great work, this is a really wonderful little film!
Improvements: I don't have very much criticism to offer here, but I suppose it could have been tightened up a little in the edit. Overall, this was a very enjoyable short. Great work, and keep it up!
