POSSIBLE MINOR SPOILERS Man About Town is an amusing little short film which works mainly because of its style: the humorous narration, the fresh jazz undertones and black and white style all set the mood for a film noir type movie which is anything but.
I found myself laughing especially towards the end as the man about town gets progressively drunk and stupid and makes a fool of himself. My only wish is that we knew what he really was saying to others to upset them instead of only hearing what he thought he said - not that it wasn't amusing.
But what's great about this is not only is it funny and universal in that we can all relate to it (guys anyway) but it is poignant in the end in that it has a message about the downside of drinking so it actually has some substance. I would watch this again and this is a very well made film.
8/10 great job!
