I'm surprised Eric Sheiner was able to keep a straight face most of the time in moments that involved physical comedy with (yes) legs, while Christy Scott Cashman is smoky and sexy as The Woman who ends up signifying a two fold statement.

To be honest I saw "Stocking Stuffers” three times, and every time the point of the film just didn't get across. Sure I read the press kit and read other websites reviews but in the end I felt none of the overt message nor did I see where the point started or ended. Connell's short film comes off as an ad campaign rather than a two part short film and really focuses on the parts of the human body that act as instruments of seduction. Uh--they're the legs, hence the title "Stocking Stuffers." While the whole premise is understandable I never understood execution upon which director Connell hoped to get across on how many times we can never be sure if its the material possessions that seduce us and not the person wearing the possessions. Take actor Eric Sheiner's role as The Man, someone who seduces his girl by caressing her legs which is then cut to a commercial where suddenly the woman is the seducer now in power thanks to her stockings. While this is all well and good in theory, the general purpose of the message comes off as vague and arbitrary, so any artistic prowess Connell presents is lost on the viewer.
