Egghead & Twinkie is a sweet and engaging movie. It’s not afraid to wear its heart on its sleeve and offer a pretty wholesome take on the queer coming-of-age genre.

True to the spirit of its intended audience, there's hilarity, shattering realizations, and plenty of manga- and anime-inspired visuals.

Egghead & Twinkie is a joyous queer road-trip movie with some fast editing and more than its fair share of modern touches... And it may be low-budget, but its crowdfunding origins mean it is endearingly so, aiding this story about finding self-acceptance

Rated: 4/5

While the story behind Egghead & Twinkie is wonderful, the actual film itself is a more mixed result. While the emotional core and diverse perspectives within the film are absolute causes for celebration, the story can struggle to come together.

Fans of Heartstopper will have a lot of fun with the new lesbian comedy Egghead & Twinkie. It’s a quirky and relatable roadtrip romp full of adorable animation flourishes that book end all of Twinkie and Egghead’s adventures.

Egghead & Twinkie is coming-of-age LGBTQ+ film of a recently out Asian American teen Twinkie and her nerdy best friend Egghead. Together, they set off on a 2,000-mile road trip to meet her online crush. It has all the tropes of a classic 80s teen movie. But its not just an 80s reboot for Generation Z. Instead, it explores one person's story to comprehend cultural and sexual identity and learn the importance of unconditional love. And it's also a great comedy! Sarah has incredible creative vision and a sense for conveying emotional weight. She also directed a wonderful cast and managed a highly capable creative team. But make no mistake...this is Sarah's film. Not only was she the Director, but also the Writer, Producer and Editor. I believe Sarah is the best of her generation and we will see her directing major feature films in the future.

Loved this film! I am not usually a fan of coming of age films, but from start to finish it surprises and delights. It's charming and poignant, well written, filmed, edited, and acted. The mix of animation and live action combined helped further develop an already personal, and fresh experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Super cute coming of age, coming out, road trip movie. Great character development and cast. Very funny (and I usually don't laugh out loud with movies!). I'd watch it with my kids (10 and 13 y/o) again :)
