Welcome Home, Norman tells the story of the troubles one man faces trying to escape an airport parking lot. If something can go wrong, it does in Norman's case. Forgetting where you've parked in a large parking lot, other cars parked so close you can't open your door, and leaving valuables on the roof - it all happens to Norman. Overall, this short is okay for what it is, but that's part of my problem - I don't know what it is. What I mean is, what's the purpose? Usually one of these shorts teaches something. But other than the dangers of a parking lot, I don't see any real lessons to be learned from Norman's ridiculous issues. It's not funny enough to be a comedy short, so that can't be the purpose either. So, Welcome Back, Norman is what it is - a strange short with no apparent purpose. I'm surprised to see that this is the second of four Norman shorts. I'd like to see the others to see if they have any reason for existing.Like most people who've seen this, I watched it courtesy of Rifftrax. The riffs here are very good. If you're a fan, it's one to seek out. But I'm rating this on the short alone, so I'll give it a 5/10.
5/10
