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???)
