It\u2019s a funny and cute sort of short film about parents being about as petty as humanly possible. One thing that hinders \u201cThe Good, The Bad and the Buggy\u201d is that there isn\u2019t any actual extrapolation as to why these parents are feuding with each other.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It is peaceful and quiet on the lonely playground where Steffen, a young and environmentally woke father takes his baby daughter for a stroll. Unfortunately, there are animals of prey on the prowl: the elitist Sebastian, with his perfect child in his perfect brand new luxury stroller. Like cowboys in the old west, the two know-it-all fathers face one another in the greatest \u201cwho done it better\u201d parenthood battle no playground ever needed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Good, The Bad, and the Buggy\u201d works so much better within the confines of, say a web series (as I mentioned above). There\u2019s no real exploration as to why these dads are feuding, only that they share drastically different methods in parenting. For some inexplicable reason they don\u2019t so much hate each other, but are in a grudge match to see who is being a better parent. For what it\u2019s worth the gag comes through fine (even if it\u2019s not a gut buster), and the direction is very good. Director Ole Micha\u2019s short comedy is perfectly fine as a one and done gag sketch, but I\u2019m not too confident in it a short film, per se.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>CINEJOY featuring CINEQUEST Artists is held from March 1<sup>st<\/sup> through March 12<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can\u2019t say that \u201cThe Good, The Bad, and the Buggy\u201d works as a short film, so much as a potential sketch for a web comedy.
