Be Good
Posted on 12/19/2008 by Kathy McManus
In the short film Be Good, Joe is the ultimate slacker, hung over and screwed up.
But during a rare sober moment as he turns 30, Joe decides it’s suddenly time to become a responsible person. Lurching hilariously toward that goal, he’s more shocked than anyone at the surprise ending that finally gives meaning to his life.
Be Good was directed by Barney Cokeliss. Read full article

I have two wee quibbles
1) While Finlay Roberston did a fine job… what? Simon Pegg too busy? and 2) This needs to be longer. I was highly entertained throughout.

Great storyline
Great storyline with the potential to expand to a longer movie. The characters were natural and charming and the ending made my day.

Umm...
Well, it basically says you won’t get acknowledged for the good things you do unless you happen to be in the right the place at the right time. He didn’t even do anything and are there really any middle age people (especially in the U.S.) who would be inspired by a commercial that tells them that they’ve wasted life sitting on the couch watching TV? No. They would change the channel without even thinking twice about what they just heard.
I’m not being pessimistic, I’m being realistic. This is just the sad truth.

Well, I was intrigued by a company that seemingly is interested in people who do the right thing, over the easy thing. I had high hopes in this message. There are so many stories of every day people who live their ordinary lives doing extraordinary things and I was quite disappointed in the lack of depth in this short film. It is an insult to the intelligence of those of us who selflessly give to others and community, not to “feel good” about ourselves, or to be well received by others, but because it is the RIGHT thing to do, and that is reward enough.

Cute
Unlike others who seem to be disappointed that you didn’t make him some huge hero, I found it quite funny and tongue in cheek. There is a lot to be said for right place right time, if he hadn’t been goaded into picking up his trash, he wouldn’t have left Norman go and then the baby would have drowned. Keep moving forward Joe you’ll make it yet!

A good film
People need to do the right thing. I am really intrigued by the man who hits this guy just after saying,“Don`t drink and drive”. Doing the right thing sometimes needs sacrifices.
BTW, it is a good film, and enjoy it.
