Most Interesting Man in the World, The

Adabisi sure does love "Groundhog Day" seeing that this is his second Consecution short for that flick. This didn't quite work out for me, but it was well put together. As others have pointed out Phil is a bit of a dick in the opening and then all of a sudden he's the coolest mofo in town. And it felt a bit disjointed, going from one scene of him being Rico Sauve to another scene of him rocking out on the piano, etc. without really feeling like a natural progression of story and characters. But, it was fun to watch and relive some great moments from a classic film.

This story almost worked. Overall, The Most Interesting Man in the World is a nice, if not saccharine, story about an intriguing fellow who falls in love. Phil's grumpy behavior at the beginning of the short kind of throws the entire thing off though. The transformation through repetition is important for Groundhog Day, but not needed for this short. A small detail that ended up changing the overall effect. Still, it is edited together quite well and makes for an enjoyable short.
