Description:
Paul Walker is a normal man with a normal house, a normal wife, and a normal job. One day, however, on his way to work with his co-worker/buddy, James Tanner, he disappears in a flash and reappears in a white room that is vacant except for one man sitting at a desk, and he has been waiting...

«This was a well-made, well-told story. Lots of clever filming techniques and a fully-formed plot that moved at a perfect pace. That said, I think the comedic aspect was a little underwhelming- I felt that some of the jokes fell a bit flat. But overall, I enjoyed the movie. »
«A humorous tale which twists and turns in your palm... A well written script executed very well by the VA's; God sounded bored (as he should with all that watching to do =D) and Snake was superb as Paul. However it's a shame there was annoying background noises and little pauses between lines as it made it lose a bit of polish, however detracted nothing from my enjoyment of the film.
Great work Raven! Highly enjoyable! Nice little twist at the end too!»
«Oh man, why didn't I see this movie before? What a great script! It's chock full of laughs and surprising satire. You've made god such a funny, down-to-earth neurotic guy, and Snakeeater was absolutely great as Paul Walker. The movie's full of hilarious, quotable lines, but my favorite bit is probably the interplay between god and Paul when they are striking the deal. I have a few nitpicks, mostly with the lack of sound effects (needs echoing footsteps, things like that) which led to some stretches of awkward silences, but the script is too good to let this problem persist. I also think the film is too short; I would have loved to see how Paul would have coped with his temporary job, and the ending was unfortunately too abrupt to be fully satisfying (despite being a great ending). I really like the way you designed heaven, however; the white is so pleasing to the eye, and the computer room was a nice touch. Overall, the movie's greatest strength lies in the funny script and the great performances; I walk away feeling fully satisfied. »
«An entertaining film. Good job!»
«Classic.
A different plot with some nice comedic moments. Some nice dialog and some nice funny lines. Entertaining all the way. Some great acting too.
A classic film that will be remembered. Good work Raven!»
«Thanks to all who have taken the time to comment and rate and let me know how I did, as sometimes I work on a movie so much that all the funny gets sucked out in the process!

«Good movie! It remember me a little "Bruce Almighty" (sorry for my bad english).»
«Possibly one of the most interesting dialogues I've listened to in a movie - it was all very entertaining - nice work chum.»
«***** stars
An entertaining bit of whimsy with some funny lines in it.
The lead characters acted their parts well and the "waiting room" was well designed.
When the main character was given his new job, I thought more could have been shown about the consequences of that and why he ends up like he does "a few days later". As that seemed to be the main focus of the story. It seemed to be skipped over too much.
But that's pretty minor, I got my money's worth despite that.
Nice work with the camera in this film too - and some choice use of sound effects at key moments.
A good script well played is what I mostly get out of this film.

«Freakin sweet man! Loved the camera movements, you should probably work on those two shots (people talking) a little more, but it was otherwise awesome. I hope people don't say it was copying Bruce Almighty....
BTW, maybe check out my new short "Agent Of Death" when you have the chance?»
«I haven't been here forever! 2 months to be exact! Wow, time flies by. Great work! This movie had some catchy dialogue with some memorable quotes. My character sounded so robotic... I didn't do that great of a job. Now, I am matured, my voice is deeper, and my mind has expanded. I think I may just continue working once again. I kinda had a long writer's block for quite a while. So now, I... think... I am back on track. I don't know, this movie changed my opinions about Teh Moviez. Awesome movie, and... uh... nice ending. Heh heh, all right!»
«Some fun conversation scenes and generally a distinctive style to the movie. The sudden use of ingame music was a little disappointing. SnakeEater did a great job with his role.»
«Some clever dialogue mixed in with a few too many "dudes", some overly lengthy pauses between the banter that really futz with the conversation style and a good bit of noise in snake's vos. Good production work and editing however. I enjoyed the white room and theres some nice use of animations to freshen up the conversation scenes. Also enjoyed your rendition of the man in the white room. Through it all, "Bring the loofa" is most memorable. »
«Pretty funny nice vo work and plot i got a laugh out of it nice ending.»
«Just goes to show; even the Big Guy needs a day off now and again
Like the tracking shot at the top; overall, pretty funny; some nice one liners
Coupla glitchy bits but nothing overly distracting... nice use of some minimalist set work and good characterisation... thumbs up!»
