This guy had better character development than 90% of shows with 1000 seasons.

[EmmyHucker]

The baby actually nailed the reaction shots 😆Such a cool film as always

[BISHTHEBOSH]

Bro was the definition of ‘professionals have standards.’

[TheHunter]

Turning a news headline into a movie is crazy.

I watch so many short films that are "good despite the budget" this (and a lot of your other shorts that I've seen) is just good. The cinematography & lighting is phenomenal, and the fact that you pulled it off with a 5 person crew is super impressive.

The writing was on point. And the twist/role reversal really got me. The line at the beginning from the woman was a little off, but it ultimately works when you see what she does at the end. My only critique is that I would've loved to have one extra beat at the end where we think he's going to keep the money but then decides to return it.

I can't wait to see the BTS. I'm a Writer/Director myself and would love to work with you guys in the future!

[NominalDingus]

HOW ARE Y'ALL NOT MORE FAMOUS!? I genuinely see a bright and promising future for y'all! Keep this stuff up! It's awesome!

[Qwerty-uiop]

You need 2M subs. All the work you put in, is just great 👍

[WhySteve]

The lady who left her baby in the car for twenty minutes is the real villain.

[HollyHargreaves]

Guys, that was really good. The story, shots and acting were awesome, but I really enjoyed the music and sound design. Great work👏👏

[LisaBrock]

Loved this! I agree that maybe a moment where he thinks about keeping the money would have been a bonus, but still thought this was an amazing 5-minute story!

[MyMusic-cddo]

You know you've got a good short film when you stop analyzing and just enjoy the ride.
The baby nailed it!

[ChaosHorseStudiosReal]

This takes Baby Driver to the next level

[hazzacricket]

What if the money in the bag was actually a bunch of choclate bars and that’s why the short film is called ‘chocolate bar thief’

[jaycrew]

This was kinda great lol

I can never figure out how people can fit an entire story into a 3.5 minute short film but this was PERFECT.

[svetlanamatovic]

Great short, glad I was part of it and funny too. Great sound, lighting, musuc and the whole crew. Baby cute and great acting Ethan 🙏🎉well done to all.

[Maxippo]

Holy crap, you definitely deserve more attention, you guys have created a whole new idea on youtube especially with your new ones. Hope you reach 5 million

[MacamTV]

This is my favorite short film you guys made so far!

[ninjaredfirehot]

Bro that plot twist was pretty insane! Great job!

[JustBrooklynn.]

I came to watch all of your old videos since of your rapid growth, and wow. This was perfectly filmed and shot. Hoping you reach 5 mil soon. Much love ❤

[AlexisFinnerty]

Lesson learned: before you steal a car LOOK IN THE WINDOW TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NOT A CHILD OR DOG INSIDE FIRST 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
