this is the purpose. this could be the result. use of old clichés for a short film who preserves the spirit of competition of an early teenager but seems not too realistic for be more then a childish joke. the important problem is - is it all ? - after the end of movie. and it is a serious problem because a short movie has its rules, ignored in the case of 33 Teeth and reduced at a amusing insignificant story. nothing about the boys, nothing about the revenge. a joke useful for a smile. but, like many similar cases, the idea is nice. not inspired used but enough for a small entertainment and evocation of adventures of youngest periods of life. so, just a joke.stupid if you are very serious.
... View More"33 Teeth" is an American 7.5-minute live action short film from 2011, which means it has its 5th anniversary this year. The writer and director is Evan Roberts and this is still a contender for his most known work for sure. This says nothing positive though as this was pretty uninspired, yet obscene film that had little to do with reality. We have a teenage buy admiring another, older guy sexually and trying to look at him whenever he can. The in the final scenes the teenage boy uses a trick to get into the older one's house and there he does something very obscene. It does not make any sense. He comes off as shy during the entire film and then he would so something like that. Looks like Roberts really needs to work on the way he writer his characters. Congruency and focus is missing in here as well as realism. Major thumbs-down.
