Egghead & Twinkie

"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'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!

Well that was way more fun than I was expecting! "student film, micro budget, coming out movie, gen z" Potentially a disaster for a middle-aged white guy who typically leans into action adventure stuff right?

BUT, I do appreciate a good story, well-told. And I also appreciate it when the passion for a project really comes across on the screen. And this project does not disappoint. At all.

First the story. It always starts with the script, and this one is well written. I had a little difficulty with the timeline from time to time but I found the dialog and authenticity of the performances super-engaging. And the overall honesty in capturing the time and place was touching and enlightening all at once.

Stylistically I was also impressed. The use of animation to support the story, add an element of humor, color transitions and generally provide some relief from what could otherwise feel really awkward at times was terrific. It was an effect that surprised me at first and then I came to look forward to as the story progressed. Really well-done.

A little Napoleon Dynamite, a little Juno all wrapped up in a sweet movie. Odd ball at times, very engaging performances and a ton of pay-off for any and all investment in the image on the screen. (It was well-shot too.)

Great job y'all.

Egghead & Twinkie is what you'd get if you blend together Little Miss Sunshine, The Half of It and Japanese anime. While many of its tropes have been done countless times before, Egghead & Twinkie is a refreshing coming out film that crosses multiple genres: coming of age drama, comedy, and road trip. The lead characters are brilliant, and their friendship is one of the best parts of the film. Twinkie's journey - physically and metaphorically - is an absolute joy to watch, as are the flashback scenes and moments with Jess. While Egghead's confession that he has feelings for Twinkie, and her own coming out, could've ruined their relationship, it brings them even closer than ever.

The 2023 one. Full length film. Written and directed by sarah holland. Egghead and twinkie are the best of friends. Apparently, egghead has a crush on twinkie, but she's a lesbo, so it probably won't work out in the end. But can they at least stay friends? Stars louis tomeo, sabrina jaiafa. And now, twinkie is telling lies to egghead, so it's a slippery slope! Lots of cartoony animation mixed in... reactions to text messages, captions. Talk of ethics, principles. It's all in good fun. And because they are millenials, they are on their phones the entire time! Will twinkie ever get to meet her new online friend? This won a TON of film fest awards. So cute. If there's a sequel (and I hope there is!!) maybe we could explore egghead's story.
