Sammy Davis Jr impersonator is hired to visit a woman's sick son on his birthday. The young man is bedridden and can't leave the tubes and wires that keep him alive. What starts out as a simple visit for a song and dance becomes complicated over the course of their time together.
Eddie Rouse give a great performance as the man hired to entertain a sick young man. Its one of those amazing performances that makes you wish that short films would get Oscar's notice because Rouse is as good as they come. He's so good that he makes you feel the complications that are thrown his way.
Sadly the film is done in by a low brow humor involving flatulence and sick noises. Inserted into the film in such away as to undercut the emotion of the film the gross noises almost completely wrecks the film entirely. Do we really need an accompaniment to Candy Man? I think not.
Fortunately Eddie Rouse's performance is so good that he single handedly saves the film from the director's poor choices. Rouse's performance makes this one to see despite the rude noises.
