This was the 1980's (early 1990's) for me, not taken hostage per se, but some crazy shit. Go with that flow and do not ask any questions.

I wanna fly a plane....but I'm blind.

[@DemoDownTG23]

I wish it didn't have to end lol.. this was Great 👍👍

[@PresidentPaul2024]

Excellent film with surprisingly mainstream music! The only thing that kind of made me wonder was that there are no warming bags for the ‘zza. Make more!!!

[@b-radsadventures6846]

That was so well done! Great story. How Randy ever drove or delivered anything is beyond me! lol

[@bunnywabbit]

The awkwardness made me nervous. Great film!

[@brianheidel4550]

He's been MIA for about an hour, but he's still going to deliver those pizzas. Someone's going to want a refund, lol

[@inglesconteacherdario2495]

This feels like the pilot of a good TV show 👌🏻

[@sandyzimmermann2978]

Loved it! I hope the cast reunites for another one.

[@sparkythancztwise]

5:40 minutes in and it's picking up steam and getting funnier after the more dry & odd (yet warm hearted) humor of the first scene. Love the boss and Randy with the main character, super amusing.

[@sparkythancztwise]

man it must suck to try to run a pizza joint (and lots of other fast food and other businesses), with all the employees bein' stoned outta their minds most of the time 🤣

[@pattyoconnell1953]

2:15 my friends went to Woodstock. My parents said I couldn’t go.

[@user-bj7nw6ml2k]

That's why GPS is important but GPS doesn't change human attitude

[@markee1010]

Great ride! Kinda "Lebowski" like. Fun!

[@user-bj7nw6ml2k]

Tough to have a fixed time sheet delivering pizza is like delivering babies they just come.

[@verwolf3D]

Cool story! Amazing pretty girl!

[@gregschneider1030]

That was really fun - nice job guys and gals!

[@immanutt4442]

PINEAPPLE PIZZA EXPRESS !!!

[@Aurabora54321]

Grandma was unsettling. Lucky to have that youngster to keep her grounded, safe, sane..😊

[@htp496]

I’m kind of envious of his life!

[@sparkythancztwise]

18:28 - 18:33 LOL

[@PrimalNomad]

[@lynnehrgott3091]

This was Fun! Really enjoyed it. Now I'm cravin some🍕

[@markwarrensprawson]

I thought I was done with stoner flicks. Like, before I hit play on this I figured rewatching "Dazed and Confused" another seven or eight times before I kicked the bucket was about as far down Stoner Street I'd ever go again. Here I am hitting subscribe and wishing smoking weed hadn't stopped being awesome and suddenly started sending me spiraling recursively around my fear of failing to adult properly. Maybe stuff like this and a holiday will restore my enthusiasm for getting high. It might even get my brother to come visit me more so we can get high together. Haha. Take you shoes off. God time. I liked that. Well unique among the other short films I enjoy online. Thank you so much to the filmmakers and to Omeleto, once again.

[@firemanack6486]

In the beginning some of the acting ( sexy wife for example) was as if they were trying to be bad on purpose. I still was intrigued by the story, even if it was simple. I absolutely loved the “ go with the flow” advice, which was taken, to the young man’s delight. The offering had me laughing and crying ( happy crying) in it’s short time. Very nicely written and acted. Reminded me of “ If you have the chance to sit it out or dance……I hope you dance”

[@ChuckSeayII]

Awesome! Very wel done! Grrandma had me at, "You Little Shit Stain"! Great story and great acting too!

[@daneatonmusic]

¨my dad STILL thinks the earths flat¨ as in always has been!!

[@user-bj7nw6ml2k]

Here a list I gave you to always he able to defend your salary raise

[@user-bj7nw6ml2k]

Dealing with a variety of clients. Grand ma should have told him the truth instead of telling him to go with the flow

[@lyziemeowmeowmeow9787]

cute!

[@joshybrisby8854]

Oh to be young again.

[@user-bj7nw6ml2k]

Have to have good memory with these people statements vs yours and org policy of client first makes it one of the toughest jobs of the 🌎

[@rmoore850]

😂😂😂

[@tjmmcd1]

Why are the 'closed caption' words different than the dialog? @2:23 grandma says Tylenol, yet cc says, Dafalgan? Watch from, 2:36 and the cc is similar, but completely different. "Just go with the flow" in cc is. "Let yourself go", while, "Enjoy the ride" translates in cc to "Follow the flow of life"? It continues on throughout the rest of the film. @24:25 the dialog in the film is "You haven't got laid in a while?" while cc translates, "Has it been a long time since you had sex with someone?" WTH???

[@rabbipemberton179]

"Promosm"

[@Aurabora54321]

That lady was creepy with her bad accent, creased robe and filled 💋 😅
