Fran Molon specializes in futons, but everyone in his small town has their mind set on mattresses. With a mini-marathon fast approaching, Fran's colleague suggests that they compete to see who can get the fastest time, and allow the winner to become the new assistant manager. Before long, Fran is training around the clock. Does he possess the drive and endurance to cross the finish line first, or is he forever doomed to be the red-headed stepchild of the furniture business. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Critic Reviews
-
Adam Tobias, Watertown Daily Times
Overlooking low production values and shaky performances from unknown actors is one thing, but when you put together a comedy that isn't particularly funny, then we have a big problem.
-
Rob Humanick, Projection Booth
Goes a long way on performances alone, which are among the most spot-on archetypal comedic renderings I've seen in years.
-
Christian Toto, What Would Toto Watch?
This micro-indie has a full-sized heart and enough humor to make its scale immaterial
-
Bill Gibron, PopMatters
This is a movie that is out to forge comedy out of character and creative situations, a feat few in today's shock jock realm fully understand.

Tony Macklin, tonymacklin.net
The Mini has some stylistic grace, and obviously is a work of heart and soul. But Beck left his wit out of it -- and that's the rub.
