"Pitääkö mun kaikki hoitaa?" or "Do I Have to Take Care of Everything?" (a repeated quote during this one) is a 6-minute live action short film from 2012, so this one has its 5th anniversary this year. It is a Finnish production by Selma Vilhunen and Kirsikka Saari, it is probably the biggest success of this duo as it was nominated for an Oscar where it lost to the Danish entry. But back to this one here. It is the day of the wedding for a friend or family member and there is confusion galore for the family in this little film here. It all goes wrong. The present's gone, the dresses aren't ready. They miss the bus and eventually something else happens that may make things even more wrong, but also somehow save the days. As a whole, this film was really more about chaos and "over-the-topness" if you may want to call it like that than about genuine comedy or good story-telling. It was basically one joke following the next and it did not help the movie overall in my opinion. For me this felt like a shorter poor man's version of a Raising Hope episode with other actors and a weaker script. Not Oscar worthy. Not nomination worthy either. Don't watch.
