While this film was tastefully done and well constructed--as it had to have been for how long Mack spent on it, Yard Work Is Hard Work kind of made me angry. Even within half an hour, I felt as though the short musical summed up everything that was wrong with how the world views marriage and relationships.
Nowadays, people are so focused on proving that they love each other and what they have is real, that they get married quickly without realizing the consequences. Marriage is hard. Living with someone else, day after day, is hard. Even with a great relationship, and a lot of love and respect for your partner, it's still something you have to work on every day, and that's something a lot of people fail to realize.
The time in the movie, while condensed, I believe, still attempted to highlight the quickness of a lot of relationships. This worked, and parallelled a lot with what we see all over the place from media, to books, to our own relationships.
