How To Pull Women ★★★★☆



Review of 'How To Pull Women' which can be found here on YouTube.

Length: 01:45
Written & directed by Simon Balch
Genre: Comedy
Date: 2012
Rating: ★★★

Logline: A moron gives us his tips for pulling.

This comes from funny man Simon Blach and it's a straight forward sketch. A low-fi shoot means not a lot of time was spent on making this look particularly great so there's lots of blank backgrounds as it's another flat located production. None of that really matters thought as it's the main character and his 'woman' that you'll be concentrating on.

Narrative has been played with in the editing so shots intercut between the advice giving and the tips in action. Humour comes from the dead pan delivery of lines and dialogue is simple, direct and effective. A soundtrack is used but it's kept pretty quiet so you'll hardly notice it. The focus is rightly kept on the comedy performance.

Can't think of anything else to say right now. Got a hangover.

Best Bit: Giving the eye.

Worst Bit: No credits so you have to use google to find anything about this guy.

Final thought: Yes you can go up to a woman and say she's an idiot.
