Verdict on Stapler
Stapler is a comedy following an overworked officer employee John (Paul) who discovers his Stapler is alive and starts talking to him. John must decide whether to take Stapler to a house party held by his friend Skye (Parish). However, after the pair drink a few, they find the stories coming through, or do they?
This comedy plays into not knowing everything that happens while letting loose. It brings up a few serious subjects and covers it with great laughs. This brings the oddball to comedy, like Rubber once did with a tire. In the end, this short comedy teaches us more about the wild nights we can have and what stories we have from them.
Final Thoughts – Stapler is a wacky, creative reflection of a wild night.
