What Happens

A woman is cooking in the kitchen, and she cuts the cheese as credits roll. 

The woman and Ed watch TV, and she texts him something by mistake. She manages to cover up what she really meant, but only barely. She goes to get another drink, and Ed makes a face– she made a stinker; she “dusted him.” Yes, she cut the cheese again, the other kind. She denies it though. Better yet, she has a way to prove she didn’t fart…

Commentary

What lengths would you go to cover up letting one rip? 

These two obviously don’t much care for each other, but they still try to salvage the evening, over and over, at least until they don’t anymore. 

Wow– that was one bad date!

The acting is great, the pacing is good, but the last half of the film was almost too dark to really see what was going on.
