Natalie Hoy portrays the lead character, bereft of the intense aura that surrounds Lisbeth from the original thriller. Instead, she personifies a hilarious and somewhat frivolous version called Lisbeth Salander, the title character, The Girl With The Tramp Stamp Tattoo. Balancing between outrageous, ultra-quirky, and unconventionally funny, Lisbeth takes on the world one prank at a time, with her tramp stamp tattoo as her weapon. Natalie wonderfully captures the essence of this unpredictable character, thoroughly living it on screen.

Brian Huskey, a veteran comedic actor, rounds out the cast to complete the perfect trio. He adapts his character to the comedic tonality of the movie and adds a layer of whimsy which enhances the overall fun atmosphere.

One of the most striking features of The Girl With The Tramp Stamp Tattoo is the fact that it is a short film.

It manages to draw out laughs, while still maintaining a certain level of suspense that parodies the crime thriller genre.

Director Eric Appel does a fantastic job with the creative execution of this parody. Under his direction, the movie takes the essence of drama, thrill and mystery, churns them all together and adds a new perspective with a healthy dose of gritty humor. The smart dialogues, outrageous comedic sequences, and well-timed pranks are a testament to his direction and storytelling.

His lighting techniques and angles offer a cinematic delight on the screen.

The film's narrative does not solely bank upon slapstick humor, but rather works into the comedic thread, some interesting subplots that keep the viewers engaged till the last frame.
