The worst part about shorts is when they end. I have so many unanswered questions. Do they go on a journey together to find Jenny and end up falling in love? And then he actually does end up proposing? Then Jenny ends up coming to the wedding. That was her plan all along. She wanted to create a strengthened bond between two people.
This guy tweeted about how he took his gf to a restaurant to break up and she cried and so everyone thought he proposed so they started clapping and cheering 😅
This film is a success because it is not pretentious. It captivates its audience by being simple and genuine. When you have a good script, good cinematography, good editing, good directing and convincing acting, you don’t need to appear sophisticated. Good job!
this is simply incredible! This is for sure going to blow up, I absolutely adore how they're both cheating on each other with the same person, and how it's implied at the end that now that person has simply left both of them. They both don't know what to feel about the other, whether to hate them or not, because they were also cheating too. In the end though, these two still probably end up breaking up, because one can't trust the other anymore.
I agree, actually. She did seem oddly excited in the beginning, and that's sort of unexplainable considering the context. Maybe she was excited to reject him and finally have a reason to get out of the relationship? @@tauhid9983
I've seen a million films, long and short, since 1948. At one time I thought, 'they don't make 'em like that anymore'. This gem makes me feel...I'm glad they don't! A simple premise, filmed perfectly with 3 engaging actors, in 11 minutes...congrats to the whole production team. This is one that I have Bookmarked, which I don't do often.
The clever cuts with the huge essay spoiler. Only the end question was ironic. I'm American and had been to London in '70. Walked into a pub with a friend from Nottingham and froze. Very surreal. Surely.
Absolutely loved, loved, loved this story, the two actors were just the right amount of funny and desperately paddling to stay afloat. Also, keeping the story short kept the tension enjoyable for myself, at least too long, and the situation becomes frustrating.... The was perfect in every way. It's one of my favourites! ❤
The chess position does jump forward and backward, but otherwise, it is a real, possible game, being a 10-move checkmate in the English Opening, with a queen sacrifice and everything. Also, the short film was great, when they confessed after the checkmate.
I have a friend who’s a surgeon and bought his townhouse because it was near an Irish pub. I said to him that’s convenient and he said yeah they give me good advise! I said who? He said the bartenders.
lovely short film! well made, entertaining, well wrap-up, we didn't know this was coming. Good to have something cheeky, funny rather than tragic and dark all the time!
I watched this short film during the Birmingham Film Festival and this was by far my favourite! Was a bit sad I couldn't show it to anyone so I'm super glad it's available online now :)
Absolutely brilliant. Beautiful acting, great humour, lovely setting in an English pub. Congrats to all although I'd like to know why Jenny did it. Loved the waiter.
Been seeing this channel for a while since the lockdown but this is the first time I actually watched a video. This was amazing! Should have started watching a long time ago!
5:30 It seems black took white's king on E1. Why are they still playing? :) Edit: Also pieces on A1, C6, E1, F3, H8 aren't even chess pieces I think. And I can see now that this inaccuracy is intentional as part of the absurdity of the situation.
The bartender had the best role 😂 and lived for it.
He's probably seen all-sorts of drama in that pub ,and he just lives for it 🤷♀️.
lol ikr
They’ve both been “played”.
Exactly so when the Barkeeper asks in the end who won, the answer is that no one did
@@grln930except Jenny
Jenny has played them both like a fiddle .
Love the bartender!!! Reminds of my days being one and time to time getting mixed up in somebody else's drama. He is brilliant!
waiter!!
One of the best shorts I've seen in a while. The waiter was brilliant. The sort of guy you want around when s@!t hits the fan.
The way he just accepts the guy's phone 📱 on the tray ... like he knows what happens ,and like he's taking his phone away .
Yeah, when the salt hits the fan... you gotta keep your eyes closed.
Thank you everyone for the lovely comments! I hope that you continue to enjoy the film (Jack - producer of The Fool's Mate)

But it was confusing cuz the woman was expecting him to propose and she seemed excited... so was the monologue from both characters ambiguous?
You know some people like to read the comments first to see if it’s good, right…?
@@missarilou bruh if u don’t wanna get spoiled don’t got to the comments lol

@@tauhid9983 maybe it wasn't excitement, rather, a nervousness
“Isn’t that just a garden?” Hilarious. And so is the waiter.
Gosh I so love the short film!! Just 3 people and such an amazing experience!! The bartender and the couple are just phenomenal !
'Gosh'.? Jeepers!

SO well done! I loved the waiter. The timing and dialogue were perfect.
Brilliant! Especially the waiter/bar tender whose timing was spot on.
That was BLOODY brilliant!!! TY for posting and sharing!
Truly a masterpiece :) Fantastic work to everyone involved, please do more!! Mitch from Australia.
OMG, THAT WAS SO DAMN GOOD!!! I didn't see that one coming!!!
Love the face of the woman during the chess game and after.
Hilarious and well cast and strangely believable - the bartender (Syrus Lowe) as 'background' character managing to be the star.
Wow! They should stick together and view it as a lesson, much like the 1995 film "French Twist."
The clever cuts with the huge essay spoiler. Only the end question was ironic.

This was an absolute delight! The fact that they (spoiler alert) were seeing the same person was brilliant until she obviously stood them both up!
What a predicament.
Now that's an amazing twist, didn't see that coming, bravo 10/10
OmG the bartender could not have been a better actor!! Kudos to all 3!
Unbelievably good script and direction, supported by a fine cast, crisp cinematography and Wagnerian-worthy music
score! Bravo!!
This was BRILLIANT right when I needed it 😂 how epic was the waiter 😂
I love this so so so much! All the actors were *perfect* in their roles it was so well written, edited and directed. Amazing job all round!
Love the last line “ So. Who won?” 😉
The background music and the waiter really help make this something to re-watch over and over again!
The waiter deserves an Oscar, his reaction when she admitted to it was THE BEST!
Brilliant! Thanks for this one. Best kind of bartender... ready to catch the fall out and avert a scrap 😅
The waiter was hilarious! I loved it!! Well done!
Wonderful twist. Well played. Short enough to hold attention well. The waiter's role was so well thought out.
Bravo... bravo, on to my saved list you go!
This short is really going to do well, and I think it'll have a long shelf life too. Great job--cheers!
Top quality..... great writing and acting by all three....
Loved the bartender's engagement in the story.
Great short film! Funny, relatable characters, excellent pacing, strong dialogue! Well done writers and creator!
0:58 most unrealistic part of show, true addicts will spend 5 minutes on one lighter
delightful indeed, we've all been caught in those 'cross' communication moments ... and the same girl was a genius touch, kudos!
Great pace. Well done. Thank you.
Clever script with good performances, especially the barkeep.
this is my favorite Omeleto
Incredible storyline, the twist!! Bravo Bravo!!
3 way chess, check your mate
Jenny made off like a tree and “leafed” 🤣🤣🤣
Oh Jenny, you sneaky beaver
The build up from something simple to this elaborate was kinda brilliant... didn't even see it coming from miles away
lol love it! so well done. love waiter/barkeep.
I love the game of emotional chess coupled with a real game of chess. I still think Jenny won though lol. Excellent thank you.
Haha that waiter will have an interesting story to tell his friends 😂😂
The acting is stellar in this one!

I have a friend who’s a surgeon and bought his townhouse because it was near an Irish pub.
I said to him that’s convenient and he said yeah they give me good advise!
I said who?
He said the bartenders.
lovely short film! well made, entertaining, well wrap-up, we didn't know this was coming. Good to have something cheeky, funny rather than tragic and dark all the time!
Brilliant. Comedy at its best. Love these short movies.
That was so much more fun than I expected. Well done!
Very well done! Love the bartender/waiter. The look on his face. Perfection.
Lovely, well produced by all involved!
Exactly this happened to me (years ago).
Had to laugh.
Wonderful short film! The timing was perfect, I had a great laugh and was engaged throughout the whole film
The actress is a hybrid of Emma Thompson and Keira Knightley.
I watched this short film during the Birmingham Film Festival and this was by far my favourite! Was a bit sad I couldn't show it to anyone so I'm super glad it's available online now :)
this is the opposite of champagne problems
Loved this one!
"Who won?" The owner of the bar who made a fortune of the misfortune of the main characters 😆
Brilliant work Cian and everyone involved. Best short for a long, long time!
Fantastic short, really well Directed. Big things coming for people able to pull off such a well made, well written little narrative like this.
This was great! I loved it. All of the actors were really great, but Syrus Lowe just killed it!
Thanks so much Omeleto for sharing this! I had a great time writing the music
The bartender is hilarious 😂
Well done! Really good! Loved it!
I love this one! Lol!
Check and mate
I wasn’t really feeling it till it got to the big reveal. Brilliant i really liked it
Perfect! Great mix of comedy, drama, and intrigue. Very well done.
Didn't see that coming. Excellent short.
Absolutely brilliant. Beautiful acting, great humour, lovely setting in an English pub. Congrats to all although I'd like to know why Jenny did it. Loved the waiter.
This was by far one of the best short films ive seen on this channel😭🙏
Played on so many lvls 😂😂😂
First of all, great short. Great dialogue, smooth screenplay, and crisp editing. And the cast did a fantastic job.
PS: The winner is... Jenny.
Been seeing this channel for a while since the lockdown but this is the first time I actually watched a video. This was amazing! Should have started watching a long time ago!
Excellent movie
AWESOME
Very well made indeed. Knives out vibes with the presentation and music.
Greatest short in a minute!!!❤

That's how you pull off a plot twist without cheating the audience.

"Holly... the time has come"
FOR YOU TO LIPSYNC... FOR YOUR LIFE!
The pacing is just brilliant
The bartender was priceless !!!!
Love it. The bartender was the star of the show!
Made me think of that Cabaret scene lol
The waiter was great in this one. I laughed my, well, bottom off.
This final was unexpected 😂😱
I loved the role of waiter and Jenny for sure .
Very Funny line: "Oh my God You're Gay. Gay with Jenny? No! I'm Bi." LOL!
The bartended was giving my life!!!
that was so well done!
Damn this was simply brilliant. Their personalities are so well acted and egnaging.
Looks like Jenny was the big winner 😂 excellent short film. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Absolutely FABULOUS! That Plot twist ending tho😂😂😂
