The Proposal à la Mr. & Mrs. Smith



I love this short film.  The audio job is a bit lacking.  Either that, or we needed Missy Peregrym to articulate her lines better.  But otherwise she and Peter Mooney do a fine job of enacting a clever script and brisk stunts:
She: What about the bedroom?
He: That shouldn't be an issue.
She: That's what every guy says. It always is [an issue].
He: Well, unlike most guys, I actually listen.
Of course, this short film takes after the delightful Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005), which elevates the customary repartee between lovers to deft aggression and comic relief.  Any conflictual couple, who can step back now and then and laugh things off, can delight in all of it.
