Reviewed at the 2012 Twin Cities Film Fest

“It’s a Disaster” features a perfectly clever premise ripe for a screen
exploration interested in tonal extremes and adventurous
characterizations. Filmmaker Todd Berger prefers to play this darkly
comic doomsday tale somewhat on the safe side, forgoing a rigorous

religious paranoia. Berger also overestimates the freshness of the plot,
dragging out what appears to be a nifty short film to 90 minutes of
sporadic comedy success. There’s something about “It’s a Disaster”
that’s ripe with potential, but a slack atmosphere populated with
overeager actors grows tiring, lessening interest in their ultimate
fate.
