Synopsis

In Only Son the titular son tries to court the girl of his dreams, but is hampered by unwanted advice from his dead father. This short comedy was made for — and won — the 2010 48 Hour filmmaking competition. The bawdy rom-com twist on the father-son relationship comes from prolific production team thedownlowconcept (7 Days, Pop Goes the Weasel and several 48 Hour successes). They were upstart winners at the 2010 Qantas Awards, with Only Son winning in the best screenplay and best short film categories — the first time a 48 Hour film had done so.

That is one seriously good movie. I loved it. I laughed out loud after a bollocks day at work, thanks!

Let them know you’re keen early on, then never let up, always smile, and touch them as much as possible in public (but never on their tits). 
You knew she was going to dump the shit out of you. She was way out of your league. Try dropping down a race: somebody new to the country?
