  • A young woman brings a costumed stranger to her sister's dinner party.
    BOB is used with permission from Drew Bierut. Learn more at bierutfilms.com.
    Hannah is on her way to her sister Julia's dinner party. Walking to the dinner, Hannah is accosted by a drunk man but is extricated from the situation by a friendly stranger in a costume. Feeling grateful, Hannah spontaneously invites him to Julia's dinner. Julia, however, is not happy about Hannah's spontaneous guest, hoping to set the free-spirited Hannah up with a friend of hers and her husband's.
    At the dinner, most people dance around the topic of the stranger and his costume, trying to be polite about the fact that he's wearing a SpongeBob costume but weirded out by it behind closed doors. As the dinner wears on -- and Hannah's would-be suitor Daniel arrives -- tensions come to a head between the sisters as their agendas clash.
    Directed by Drew Bierut and written by Dan Brier, this clever and incisive short blends both gentle absurdism with a comedy of manners. Its jumping-off point is both silly and high-concept, allowing the excellent writing to explore how this group handles someone's admittedly eccentric difference and how it ruptures the social fabric. But with its well-drawn personalities and willingness to fully explore its premise, it also shows surprising emotional depth and resonance that make for a truly engaging watch.
    Shot with a low-key naturalism, the writing and pacing are deft and brisk, quickly establishing the narrative groundwork: two different sisters, a dinner and then an anarchic element of a friendly stranger in a costume. Much of the action and tension is built when the dinner party starts in earnest, beginning with Julia's reaction to Hannah's last-minute guest. The scenes oscillate between different groupings, each revealing the characters' perspectives and values and mining the awkwardness for both comedy and insight. The obvious question is why the stranger is wearing a SpongeBob costume, but no one outright asks it, instead either politely alluding to it, ignoring it or joking about it.
    Being on some level a comedy of manners, the film's ensemble cast collectively delivers solid, understated performances, led by actors Emma Pasarow as an earnest, spontaneous Hannah and Talia Goodman as the well-meaning but judgmental sister Julia. Kudos go to actor Dillon J Stücky as the titular character, who ably conveys regular-guy decency and affability, even in costume. Bob is generally kind, polite and friendly. But despite his civil demeanor, warmth and earlier heroics, his presence still wreaks havoc on this social occasion, leading to a more outright confrontation between the sisters.
    Funny, sharply observed and finely crafted, BOB could conceivably emphasize the absurdism of the costumed stranger or hammer home the metaphor of how we're unable to deal with social differences head on. But instead, it makes a deeper, more humane choice to both reveal the man underneath it and the reason why he wears it. It also chooses to explore the connection that can happen when people truly accept each other and look beyond the surface, seeing who someone is by their words and actions. In doing so, it achieves a warmer, more open-hearted resonance, leaving audiences with nothing less than a sense of optimism and a renewed belief in the power of human connection.

    I think if Bob showed his face to Julia she wouldn't call the police. Even without knowing that he was a famous DJ. But not seeing his face made her super uncomfortable. This shows how much we humans have evolved to rely on seeing the face of the person we interact with - the closer we interact, the more we need to see their face. This is because we try to predict person's behaviour by reading their reactions, we try to judge how much we can trust them, and when we cannot see the face we freak out.

      @@slevinchannel7589 She was in her home, she wanted to feel safe in her own house. To be completely honest, he did behave a little eccentric, he showed disrespect to their space by going on tour around the house and playing piano without asking their permission - to many people this is very uncomfortable. So, she freaked out because not seeing his face made her feel vulnerable and she got nervous and protective of herself and her house the only way she knew how. We all think of people, whose behaviour is very different from ours, that they are mad, no matter if it is true or not - this is our perception. Especially when their behaviour is unpredictable.

      @@thatvalensteingirl That thing about not knowing about the Spongebob series was also a small gamechanger for the plot. I mean really, I think it is natural to expect someone to embrace the identity of their costume. But then not all people suited as college football mascots are actually into football. It got me thinking that this skit intentionally made me try to understand who is Robert. But nobody actually needed to. He was just a very cool person who was also a big DJ. And this being part of the social dilemma of partnering up your siblings...

    This is a refreshing change of pace. Honestly, I felt that the last 2 or 3 Omeleto shorts I watched were subpar, but this was good and felt (mostly) real despite the absurdity of a guy walking around in a SpongeBob suit. Would love to know how much of this short represents the actual events it's based on.

    Everyone except for Daniel are totally annoying. Julia has made a setup without taking permission from her sister, the husband is a spoiled kid who doesn't help his wife in doing household chores, Hanna is super immature and brought Bob with her unannounced to her sister's party and Bob, agreed to go and acted weird in the party by not taking off the mask and playing the piano. Only Daniel was the sane character here who patiently tolerated all these insanity and still wanted a date with Hannah.
