This experiminet is a total success. I only want to see movies made like this from now on. think how much better The Hobbit would have been if it had been made like this.

It is certainly a funny idea well executed. Would be interesting to see them tackle other genres. Unfortunately I think there's a limit to where this kind of experiment can go, but it's great for a quick laugh.

I disagree. There's something genuine about the performances. They are genuinely drunk, not just acting drunk. It lends a certain reality to the performance. It might not work for dramas, I don't like dramas anyway, so for me it would probably be an improvement.

I just think drunk acting is extremely limited, and it strikes me as very one note. Yes this short is hilarious, and I wouldn't mind seeing 3 or 4 other scenarios done in this same way (preferably each being a different genre, I would especially love to see western and horror), but after a while it would get old like everything does. The actors being drunk is not some revelation of authenticity.

The problem with intentional drunk acting (as opposed to just being an alcoholic actor) is clear in this short. Funny as it is, like they say: you're only as drunk as you think you are. And when the POINT is to act funny because you're drunk, it doesn't matter how much you drink, you'll still be "acting drunk" more than "drunk acting."
