Do you find grown-up people in banana costumes funny? Do you find grown-ups in dildo costumes funny? Congratulations! Then "The Plight of Clownana" is probably the perfect watch for you. I personally don't and that is why I could see nothing of quality in this 16-minute short film from over 10 years ago. Actor Jensen Ackles played a major role in the making of this movie as actor and producer. He is one of the core characters in one of my favorite shows of all time "Dark Angel", so I was genuinely disappointed to see him involved with this crappy project here. The writer and director, however, is Chris Dowling and it says a lot about his talent that this fairly unknown short film here is probably still his most known work to date. Or about the lack thereof. It does not deliver from a comedy perspective and certainly not from a dramatic perspective either. Don't be fooled by the IMDb rating and don't let nerds tell you otherwise. This film is bananas and not in a positive context. Highly not recommended.
