Full Employment
Reviewed by: Scott Macdonald
A rather entertaining fly-on-the-wall faux-documentary spoof in the vein of those crappy ITV filler television shows like Airport. The show is about people who volunteer in these troubling economic times - a local government initiative gives care to those experienced in important matters, but are getting on in years.
Miroslav, a volunteer helps Mr. Janssen get ready for a day's work - dressing, helping him get around and doing the laundry. Mr Janssen has a rather essential job to do, and it's rather messy. Needless to say, the special effects crew take up the bulk of the credits. That, and the laundry becomes a very important job. The amusing juxtaposition of where Miro places himself, and how Janssen's important job reveals itself is the comic crux of the movie.
A one-joke movie, but it's a good joke, nonetheless.
