Based on his theatrical monologue, Josh Kornbluth stars, writes and directs this office comedy that has an uncannily offbeat feel for character and dialogue, but succumbs to some degree to stupid, if not lazy, digressions. When the pages to a lost document begin speaking like a grateful child to the porcine procrastinator, well, sorry, but you have to do better than that. He is a skilled writer, however, and his feel for the mundane repetitions of office life are disarming and quite hilarious. As an actor, he has a built-in series of facial expressions that effectively substitute for emoting or playing a character. In the spirit of Peter Gibbons (Office Space), his malaise and utter disinterest in all things work-related becomes a sort of appealing ethos: long live the defiant slacker.
