All About Jack (2009)

All about Jack: Australia's Freshest New Comedy, a 27 minute Howling Wolf Films movie, features Australian actors Max Lewis and Paul James, who engage in crude joking behavior and clich''-filled soliloquies. The constantly changing plot mirrors the swift progression of emotions from ecstasy to sadness to indifference. Jack, as he is so aptly named, is given to the protagonist Maddie from her friend as a random gift. Maddie immediately befriends the brown mutt and looks to him for support and love. She claims to have named her new dog after her "hero," Jack Sparrow, the bad-boy conquistador of the fictional Pirates of the Caribbean movie series, played by Johnny Depp. What follows is a narrated flashback that exposes Maddie's failed marriage years ago tarnished by her ex-love Marshall's infidelity. In doing so, it illuminates her new dog Jack as a source of revitalization for Maddie from her earlier days of darkness.
