Egghead & Twinkie

Absolutely my most favorite movie now. The way this movie moved me is beyond words. I related to Twinkie so much. This movie is beyond my expectations, even with my high expectations. I can easily see this as being THE lesbian movie. Im so proud of how good it was and how it touched so many spots that need to be touched. The quality of everything is so fantastic and this movie deserves theater screens! It deserves premieres beyond premieres. Everyone involved in the movie deserves awards on top of awards. This movie actually had me in full blown tears because of how much i could relate to everything involved.

Saw this at the Austin Film Festival! Kept meaning to leave a review because I want others to know how awesome this movie is.

Short version: Endearing characters and laugh out loud moments-- very adorable and relatable <3

Longer version: The storytelling flashback mechanic coupled with cute graphics help us get into Twinkie's head. There is a good balance of comedy and vulnerability within the story. Characters feel real and flawed (everyone is a weirdo in their own way) and the film captures the heightened emotions that come with being a teen. Definitely a new favorite of the genre (DVD release???)

I'd been following along with the production of this movie for quite a while before it came out, and to be completely honest I was a little skeptical of just how good it could possibly be. The cast and crew all seemed relatable and down to earth, and for some reason that gave me the impression that the film would come out fairly amateur. I'm happy to say that I was 100% incorrect! About 15 minutes in, all of my doubts faded away as I was completely invested in the plot. There were so many unique and interesting elements that kept my attention throughout the entire movie. It was so lighthearted and fun, but there were also several heartfelt moments that I really resonated with. Things were a little cliche at times, but who doesn't love a cheesy romcom every now and then? Overall I have no complaints and I couldn't recommend it enough. If anyone from the cast or crew is seeing this, great job you guys. I'm so glad I stuck around long enough to see the final product!

"Egghead & Twinkie" leads viewers of all communities into a journey of lifelong friendship that resognates with a "coming of age" generation. The colorful cartoons throughout added character depth to their emotions and added a fun, comedic side to delivering the plot of the film. As Twinkie toys with the idea of being self-centered, off-course, and somewhat sneaky around her lifelong best friend, it's no surprise to see Egghead come out as the hero. But Twinkie regains respect as she realizes her ability to embrace her identity came with an emotional cost. This cost resignates with most viewers, no matter what their sexual identity, and this is where the film captures my 10 stars. This is a great film to even the most close-minded of viewers as it gracefully embraces individualism and identity at all levels of their comfort zone. It tastefully suggests viewers to respect others and simply find happiness in us being ourselves. I hope to see "Egghead & Twinkie" stream at some higher level in the future.

I've been following this movie since 2019 when it was posted on TikTok. I am so happy with the results. There was great representation of the coming out experience. I came out my senior year of high school and I related to this story on a deep level. This movie takes you on an exciting, fun and cute coming of age adventure. I experienced so many emotions during this movie including excitement, anger, nostalgia and I laughed a bunch.

There aren't many gen z movies that depict our diologue correctly. I had a great time watching this movie and will be watching it again in the future. Great job, I'm am so proud of everyone involved! <3.
