Sweet Friggin' Daisies

Sweet Friggin' Daisies is a short film - therefore a seldom seen film, and that's the sadness of making, or loving short films - that stars Zooey Deschanel and Eddie Kaye Thomas. It was written and directed by Jesse Wigutow.

Wigutow also wrote the largely neglected Fred Schepisi feature It Runs in the Family. Seems that the guy can't quite catch a break - but hey, his short films are getting more exposure than my own.

If you can get three minutes into Sweet Friggin' Daisies without questioning your previous regard for Ms. Deschanel you're a more devout fan than I. This film's not so hot, and she couldn't have considered it a career move or mortgage mop-up. Poor Eddie Kaye Thomas had nothing to lose, but what was Zooey thinking?
