A short film starring Jesse Eisenberg as the boy who won't let his relationship slide away after his girlfriend/roommate decides to break up with him. Sitting in the hallway all day and all night he spends his time doing nothing but thinking about her. Throwing a tennis ball up and down, writing in his notebook, and doing some push ups here and there will not let his mind wander away from this girl.
Eisenberg is just a minor speed bump for his girlfriend, literally placed in the middle of the hallway on her way to the bathroom or exit. The girl (Eloise Mumford) couldn't care less about this pathetic curly headed loser she once dated. She constantly yells at him to leave and makes him feel even worse even though he is showing how much he actually cares about her. But one thing is for sure, the boy will never leave.
This comedic take on an unfortunate break up of hurtful exchanges is worth the 17 minutes of viewing. Eisenberg is at his best as the innocent boy that we all feel bad for, but don't mind laughing at for his misfortunes.
Grade: B (84%)
