COTTON CANDY BUBBLE GUM is a vibrant coming-of-age comedy following 21-year-old Carter -- played by newcomer Nick Darnell in a star-making debut -- as he navigates the complexities of adulthood. After his new stepfather threatens to kick him out of the house if he can't cover his share of the rent, Carter seeks a promotion at his internship -- only to be saddled with an impossibly long list of tasks that take him across all of L.A. What follows is a frenzied and turbulent day, testing Carter's resilience, sense of humor, and aversion to wisecracking teens and paroled rappers, amongst a genuinely wild cast of characters. Think SUPERBAD meets DOPE on steroids.

Had a lot of potential, but the glimmer of a good story is buried under a mountain of half-baked ideas and clumsy execution. Go to Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) Mar 23

4/5
'Cotton Candy Bubble Gum' is jam packed with unhinged moments that are highly unlikely to happen to someone, but it’s fun to watch unravel on screen. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
