Infantile Impulses, 9 December 2015
I've watched several "educational" shorts recently and I've been thinking about how best to rate these things. I'm going to begin rating these shorts on two factors: 1. Is the short entertaining (intentional or not)? and 2. Does the short do what it was intended to do - educate?
Is Act Your Age entertaining? Yes it is. Watching a grown man throw himself on the ground, kick his legs, and basically cry was hysterical. Other good bits included the creepy principal's conversation with the student in trouble and the ludicrous plan the boy comes up with to act his age. Unintentionally, Act Your Age is gold!
Is Act Your Age educational? I doubt it. Other than some basic woodworking skills, there's not much to learn - certainly nothing about how to control infantile impulses. Educationally, it's a waste.
Factoring in entertainment and education, I'll give this one a 5/10.
