Sitcomland

Cute story, told nicely, never taking itself seriously. The canned laughter and OTT mum were my favourite elements.

Seriously though, what even is math!?

Sitcomland is great fun! As an illustrator, watching the main character be interrupted while just trying to paint drove me crazy too haha. Just let us do our art! Haha.
I loved the sitcom bit. It was interesting that American sitcom family was what he perceived to be ‘a normal family’ lol, but I think an interesting reflection about how we unconsciously decide what normal is, through the media we consume? So that added another layer to the film I appreciated.
My one bit of confusion was that Dad at the start was over the top, loud, in ya face, upbeat, talking about the neighbour’s shitbox Holden etc haha. But then the Dad at the end seemed quite different - quiet, a little more withdrawn, and serious. It confused me for a minute wondering if he had come home to the right family or if something had changed/gone wrong.
Otherwise though, so many good bits and a fun watch. Great job

My interpretation was that the family was perhaps sobered by the disappearance of the son, realising how annoying their interuptions were?
