“Jeffrey the Goldfish”
Directed by Shelby Chapman
A man’s relationship with his goldfish is put to the test when the fish suddenly moves out. Featuring so-bad-you-hope-it’s-on-purpose acting, “Jeffrey” squanders whatever lo-fi charm it might have possibly achieved with an uneven combination of color and black-and-white photography (equally unattractive) and awkward music editing that makes one of the best Bright Eyes songs sound like an aural turd.
Oh, and way more man-on-fishbowl making out than anyone needs to see.
Grade: 1/2 out of 4 Stars
