From Cassava Films, Mark Tapio Kines directs what is probably one of the weirder short films I've seen in a while. Casting an actual married couple "Ron and Nancy" explores the sick and sometimes absolutely surreal lengths couples are willing to go to spice up their sex lives and increase communications with each other. After watching it I wasn't entirely sure if I enjoyed it, but after another viewing I basically couldn't help but like it because the performances are so off the wall it's absolutely charming. Stars Tyler Rhoades and Erika Godwin have very good chemistry and they are almost always dead on with their comic timing.

Kines's direction is fairly simple relying instead on setting a tone that keeps the movie's pacing rather fast since it is fairly under ten minutes. Kines doesn't have limitations when it comes to bending the genre for this short. While some may classify it as a romance comedy, the inevitable special effects presentation of Vore along with the awfully weird final scene ultimately shows that this short film is impossible to peg in to one genre. "Ron and Nancy" has an eccentricity about it that eventually won me over and I think it's a pretty good entry from the Cassava team.

While it may not be for everyone, "Ron and Nancy" is a surreal look at the lengths some people are willing to go to spice up their relations with their loved ones and takes an interesting look at a few fetishes even I didn't know existed.
