Scrapple

Love the Duplass Brothers, he is super cute, young Markie! But, definitely lacking in many areas. It was blah and plotless, but not blah and plotless gold like most of the other Duplass works are. This was stupid; started interesting, then plateaued, then ended suddenly leaving an unfulfilled, what the fudge feeling.

Yes, competitive board game players can make for a compelling short film. Yes, a few funny moments, "Shoer", "Tell Me how you really feel", but it was not enough. It could be so much better, and the Duplass Brothers have proven that, both before and after this one, do this was a miss in my book. A miss, but far from a reflection of their talents. A pity, since I absolutely love Scrabble and actually was looking forward to this one for a long time. Maybe my unintentional high expectations were the problem?
