- A private investigator goes on a stakeout.
CUL-DE-SAC is used with permission from Nick Flugge. Learn more at nickflugge.com.
Chris Pond is just your everyday normal private investigator. He's a father who can't quite connect with his kid, and his marriage is floundering. He's thrown himself into his work to take his mind off his worries.
But he finds his routine stakeout interrupted by his sister Lottie, who's intent on improving her brother's life. She stages an intervention aimed at getting Chris out of his rut -- at the worst possible time.
This short dramedy is a small gem of self-deprecating yet sardonic British wit, driven by an excellent script and superb performances. The film shines for its dry, deadpan humor and sense of irony, but what makes it affecting and memorable is how deftly it captures familial relationships.
Chris and his sister Lottie's dynamic as siblings is recognizable to anyone who both loves and has been completely exasperated by a family member. When played out in the tight confines of a car, it makes for smart, emotionally perceptive comedy that's still rooted in family situations almost anyone can relate to.
They are comedy gold together.Their timing is like magic. I would watch a whole series with these two.
How did 12 minutes, of the majority of which were spent with 2 people just talking in a car, kept me so hooked is a testament of how amazing these Omeleto shorts are. The two actors were so good, especially the sis.
Can we just acknowledge that being a private investigator, is just stalking, but with pay.
The Mindset It’s a lot more than that
Damn, i can get paid for it?? Any job openings??
its not just watching one person for your personal thrill, your client wants you to find out something, like if a person cheats or hides a gambling habbit.
Guys, Guys I was kidding. I know what being a P.I is really about (wanted to be one for awhile) just thought it was kind of a funny thought.
@@themindset4164 all cool m8
I loved this!
The sister character was great!
And then he reported his findings to the client, because he's already homeless, living out of his office, and has to pay his bills somehow. He used the obvious rationalization, "Spending time with your kids is quite important, but there are correct and incorrect way of going about it," so he wouldn't feel bad for performing his job.
That's what you do if you have a difficult job, you find a way to justify it to yourself.
I'm having a hard time accepting that these two are not actually siblings in real life.
Ah really liked this short. Loved the sister's character. Could happily watch more of this. Nice!
Mike Wozniak is a fantastic actor. He's great in Man Down. Awesome in this short...
Cheers
One man does what he can to be with his children, the other makes no effort at all...yet.
People with those kinds of mustaches always warm my heart
my husband has one ever since I remember and I hate it
@@rme1383 😂 now that warms my heart! Why does he keep it when you hate it so much!?
I detest big icky mustaches like that myself ….
*Something tells me this was not a happy chicken*
"The more you eat, the more space they get."
Lol. 3 types of tea on hand. How very British
him: "I've Lg, PG and I 've got red bush"
her: " get that seen too, as soon as possible"
him( getting exasperated at the inuendo)
Great moment and great writing.
Sibling interaction was on point. Music at the end is nice. Love a download or longer version.
The sister is awesome, wish I had one like that
That was some exceptionally good acting!
Ok this could be expanded to a whole film and I'd watch.
Are you intervening?! 😂 DUUUH
Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo is one of the greatest movies ever. He has excellent taste in films.
Underrated, definitely deserves 1 million plus views. Great job.
Excellent! Writing acting editing and just everything on point
This was beautifully written 👏
We all have to stay "HUMAN"...Good film with kind thoughts after all.
Its sweet she cares... but holy hell would i be annoyed if my family interfered with my work like that.
Less than 500 likes?! C'mon now, folks, this was good.
Wow. He sure is quick at pulling his seat belt on and off. 😉 Great film. We should all spend more time with our kids. It's a shame that most societies do not have this as a priority. Imagine the difference it would make in the big picture of things. I
Iong ago noted how life is a bit backwards. When we're relatively young parents and our kids as little, we're often working more to get established in our fields, but this is when they need us most. Then, as they get into the teens and beyond, we sometimes have more time for them, but they don't need us as much or at least pretend not to. I do not mean to imply that we are not needed. There is no doubt that teenagers need significant attention as well. A parent is forever despite life's changes.
Agree!
I hope he makes the right choice
In your opinion what is the right choice
@@ILOVEMUSIC159 To not turn that SPECIFIC man in (but of course continue with other jobs). Also to reconcile things with his family.
The authors should make a voting pol for what people would've done.
nice one for everybody who watched another shortfilm here you're referring to :)
Plot twist: He didn't delete the photos and he did call his ex and had his kid for the weekend and finally shaved off that mustache lol
I think this is a lesson we should all learn
His sister was telling the truth.
35? Really?
british my name is earl
i loved the story!! please share more heart warming videos!! thanlk you Omeleto
CR4 MZ This video isn't "heart warming" it's depressing.
i know. i just wanted to be noticed. So would you please like my comment?
CR4 MZ Only if you "like" my😯 I'm joking😁here it goes 😋
yeey
CR4 MZ 💐
lol that was great! Quite the moral dilemma, when the fellow he was hired to catch turned up with a unexpected good deed. A tad heavy handed with the "it's for my kid" remark, but I don't really mind. Plus, I'm presuming he gets paid whether or not the client likes the results (just use the earlier photos and call it a day), so no big deal.
except if it comes put he was scamming the system, it looks like he didn't do his job or maybe got paid by the guy to say he was injured.
The sister sort of looks like Sporty Spice.
Brilliant !!!!!
Well done.. Challenges the imagination..!
that girl was hilarious.
more of Her, please.
Good dilemma.
I need love.
You need love. Love helps.
Yes, you should listen to Kevin. He makes sense, and is also funny.
Awww
if internet page help, I'd be glad to give you some
`pat pat, pat pat`
His seatbelt/shoulder keeps disappearing and re-appearing..
Good catch!
isn't it just the angle?
mike wozniak 🤲
Yo he kinda looks like Albert Einstein.
Add Subtitles.pls
Rip him xD
Mike Wozniak ♥️
why do every England people say bloody so much.......
We can't bloody help it alright?
@@paulg903 LOL Had a female co-worker been living in florida for a spell. She had the accent but you could forget she was from across the pond; the occasional *bloody* in conversation would remind one that she's definitely not a native =)
@@paulg903 you bloody well make sure they get it through there bloody minds.
@@themutualfriend5286 bloody hell mate, am one bloody guy, I can't achieve that much
I dunno I can't bloody well explain it
I don’t get what the story is about
Virginia Johnson what I got from it is, he’s to caught up with work watching suspected fraudsters to deal with his family, turns out the guy he was watching wanted to spend time with his family on the other hand
This people are they married in real life.?
I have 2 cousins named Sarah and Eric lol
What if you file a restraining order on a personal investigator for stalking?
Good short but not a comedy.
paid to stalk people.. must be good pay weird
paparazzi make a lot doing it
The film ends the minute it gets interesting. You want to like it but what do you do with the eight minutes when you wish it finished, too talky there .
Wow
Paid stalkers 😆 MUCH
that is paparazzi....I am wondering if the people making this comment are scamming.
She reminds me of Hermione
God, that awful ‘tache
Wow
