Sweet 'n Short

About This Movie

So, Sweet 'n Short is this quirky little comedy from '91. The premise is pretty wild, really—a sports presenter, kind of a washed-up character, gets knocked out and wakes up in a completely changed South Africa. The tone is a mix of absurdity and dark humor, capturing that post-apartheid vibe in a unique way. Pacing is a bit uneven, but it kind of works with the disorientation of the protagonist. Performances are hit or miss, but you can tell they’re having fun with it, especially in the offbeat moments. The practical effects aren't groundbreaking, but they add a certain charm. It’s distinctive in how it tackles cultural shifts through a comedic lens, and honestly, it’s fascinating to see how it reflects the times.
