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

Your wake up call!
Yes, it’s sad but true; we have lazy coaches living around us that frustrate people around them. But eventually as all things come to an end, people change their life in search of something else to inspire them. In this case, the satisfaction of feeling satisfied by doing something positive. In most cases it takes something at some time to make that change for an individual, and you can see that throughout this film.
Well thought through I say as it wasn’t over dramatized and made you giggle. It’s nice to see something positive.

Doing the right thing doesn’t always turn out the way we plan. Only proves that no good deed goes unpunished. I am a believer in things happening as they are suppose to. Picking up the piece of candy wrapper was the catalist for the baby being saved by the dog. Great spin. Enjoyed it very much,

I think the story was great, being a martial artist myself. I believe that a person can achieve whatever he or she wants from life.

Do good
Slightly implausible – how did the baby get into the water in the first place? Camera work not great at the moment of safety … baby was clearly a small doll. Just goes to show that dogs can do well when they don’t even know that’s what they are doing,

Good flick, but the dog did the responsible thing. Action brings results in peoples lives, good intentions by themselves don’t.

Life's Paradoxes
This is a short brilliant film which, unfortunately, depicts the corrosive cynicism in our society today: you cannot do any good thing unless there is a catch in it! Consider the old woman who weakly shouts ‘thief thief!’ as Joe tries to help carry her baggage, or the mother who tells her child not to look at the funny man even though he had helped them cross the busy street. Did he deserve the sucker punch for voicing the dangers of drink driving?
The turning point comes when, fed up with helping people, he adopts a dog which by some quirk of fate, makes him a hero. All of a sudden, attention and appreciation comes from every quarter- even from women who neither believed he’d ever grow up, or could look after a dog.

I thought this was so cute. The dog becomes the hero for him. Really sweet.

You are right. It was amusing but it left me wanting to know more about the film. This clip is a tease to something greater.
