After his girlfriend rolls over, Paul realizes that tonight he simply isn't getting any. Needing to release, he opts to jump in the shower and take care of business, but a lack of safe sex results in the inevitable as he impregnates the bathtub with his lustful DNA.
Comprised of 12 minutes of awkward humor, I found Bobby Miller's Tub a comical cross between drama, horror and hysterical antics. Which one prevails depends on how you look at the subject matter, though in all three cases, the film works.
Maybe I am demented, or a bit weird, but from a professional and entertaining standpoint, this short is one of the best I have seen in a few years. If you are fortunate enough to get an opportunity to catch a glimpse of it, check it out. It will do for bathtubs what Jaws did for the ocean.
About Stephen Davis
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
