Could have been good

The film has a nice black and white cinematography (probably in reference to Raging Bull, will a parody of Rocky Balboa is undisputed). The idea is very interesting and clever: mocking on gender roles by showing a male boxer (being boxing a "mannish" sport) who becomes pregnant, what is not well received by his girlsfriend with the same kind of explanations men use to provide not to be fathers. Therefore, it could have been a good short film, but a chaotic experimental script, with nonsense situations and some bad gags, dampens the outcome seriously.
