Advise on 3M window films?

Question

I'd like to get some input on how effective the 3M window films are(http://www.amazon.com/3M-2141W-Indoor-5-Window-Insulator/dp/B00002NCJI). I'd like to use this product to try and keep a small office (about 15x15 feet) as cool as possible. The office has a large window (about 6x4) and although I have some metal draw string blinds the room stays pretty hot most of the afternoon. I have AC and several fans in use, but room faces the afternoon sun and the AC  and fans do little to help. The 3M film seems like it does a good job keeping heat IN (according to reviews), but I'd like to keep heat OUT. Replacing the window with a tinted one probably isn't an option. Any thoughts advise etc?

i would give it a try, but because of the size i would have a helper. you don't say much about the a/c is it central or a window model, if it is a window unit on the sunny side of the building it won't do much good. i had a similar situation so i made a frame to hold a very breathable fabric to shade the unit and it works much better now and i did tint the window too, hope this helps
