This is a very funny film. Like many shorts, it's more of an extended joke than a movie. But it really works. The concept of romance insurance is pretty funny to begin with, but to take it to such extremes especially with the smarmy salesman who is all smiles at first makes me laugh just thinking about it. It's been six years since I last saw this film, but I still chuckle thinking about it.
The punchline is a little predictable, but this is a much more clever film than many full-length comedies made today.
Robert Peters is especially good as the salesman. He does a lot of one-line roles in movies, and has made some pretty good beer commercials too.
