This is a fun little short film about parents who can't decide on a name for their baby since they are both such obsessive-compulsive idiots! They can't agree on any name at all and the longer they argue, the older the kid becomes! The banter between these two nuts is very funny and made me chuckle.

In addition to the funny exchange between the parents, during the credits you see many interviews with cute little kids as they talk about their names. This is adorable and the kids really left the film on a bright note.

By the way, I could relate to this film as my wife and I never could agree on a boy's name. I liked "Napoleon Alexander" as the kid would be bound to make a success of himself with a name like that and my wife always chose names that would get the kid beaten up at school. Thank God we ended up having only daughters!! Otherwise, my 18 and 14 year-olds might have ended up nameless as well! Also, note in the closing credits that there is a "child wrangler" listed. This title just conjured up the most unusual images in my mind of cowboys and rodeos!
