It\u2019s the absurdity of the situation in \u201cCheck Please!\u201d that\u2019s so funny and makes Chad Meisenheimer\u2019s short film so entertaining. Meisenheimer takes a common trope and twists it to where it\u2019s so ridiculous and while for others it may have been a miss, Meisenheimer makes it work.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s likely due also to the performances by Meisenheimer and co-star Shane Ryan, both of whom have such hilarious chemistry together. Ryan in particular is great as this guy who is handed this incredulous situation and can\u2019t quite figure out what to do with it, even when the most logical solution presents itself. \u201cCheck Please!\u201d is a nice hint of Meisenheimer\u2019s comedic ability and I hope we get to see more from him down the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam and Steve; are sitting in the middle of a caf\u00e9 going over their feelings after a blind date, until Steve comes out to Adam and admits something about their hook up the night before.
