Eileen (Elise Taylor) is a barmaid past her prime - and she's made to
feel just that as she's not getting any good shifts anymore, or any at all
- as the management aims for younger, her colleague Amy (Rachael Williams)
tells her outright. Then though, Amy tells Eileen that the bar they're
working at also holds a jelly wrestling tournament and Amy's planning to
participate - and as it happens, Eileen has once been a jelly wrestling
champ, and her career was only ended when her opponent tore off her
panties during a match, leaving Eileen exposed in front of the audience,
something that just killed her mojo. But Eileen still knows all the right
moves, so she trains Amy to become a jelly wrestling champion. At the
night of the big event, Eileen looks at the schedule and sees she still
doesn't get any good shifts, and when she confronts management, she learns
that it's actually Amy who's doing the schedule. Enraged, she slips into
her jelly wrestling outfit and enters the tournament, and of course, she
wins all the matches up to the final when her opponent is ... Amy of
course. Now of course, Eileen's routine totally outranks what she could
teach Amy in the brief time she coached her, but Amy knows her Achilles'
heel ... Now this one's fun. Sure, the story is not very
original, it's not the subtlest of shorts, and not all the humour's very
high brow, but it's pretty exhilarating, milks its central theme - jelly
wrestling - for some pretty good punchlines, outdoes itself in creating
outrageous/silly wrestling characters, and just drives its story at a
quick enough pace to never create a boring minute. As said before, fun!
