http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/25/Flight-of-the-Conchords--Bret-Gives-Up-the-Dream.aspx It’s the ultimate decision any band has to eventually make: Do you keep the dream alive, even though it means scraping by, or do you sell out in order to pay the bills? In FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS, the “band” — and we use the term loosely, since the band consists of no more than the two main characters, Bret and Jemaine, a manager whose day job is with the New Zealand consulate, and a $6 box filled with $4.27 — finds itself at that crossroads.   Faced with the prospect of eating food they find on the street, Bret decides to get a job as a sign-holder. Actually, both of them apply for the job, but Jemaine isn’t hired because he has a bad attitude (when told he needs to work on his people skills, Jemaine snaps back, “Shut up!”).   So, the band is put on hold, mostly because Bret can’t make practice as he thrives in his sign job. He wears a suit to work —  although it appears to be the same suit — every day. And, he talks on his new Bluetooth, even though he doesn’t know it’s supposed to be connected to a phone. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/25/Flight-of-the-Conchords--Bret-Gives-Up-the-Dream.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/25/Flight-of-the-Conchords--Bret-Gives-Up-the-Dream.aspx#879 OK this show is friggin hilarious. I was crackin up during that first music video. Takes a bit of time to get used to the characters and different style of humor but once you do you realize how clever some of the jokes are stangogh http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/25/Flight-of-the-Conchords--Bret-Gives-Up-the-Dream.aspx#879 Tue, 10 Jul 2007 18:17:06 GMT
