You always remember your first love. For Egghead, it’s the artistic and adorably quirky Twinkie. With summer almost over and separate colleges looming, Egghead has only a few weeks left to tell her how he feels. Oblivious to his love, Twinkie has problems of her own. She is struggling with her racial identity, dealing with her adoptive parents’ reaction to her coming out, and the undeniable love of her life — the elusive, online BD — lives 500 miles away.
When BD invites her to a huge lesbian party in Dallas, Twinkie convinces Egghead to put his feelings aside so the two BFFs can embark on an epic journey full of hilarious and cringe moments. Using anime-inspired interludes and playful montages, EGGHEAD & TWINKIE offers a welcome mix of buddy movie and road flick — think GYPSY 83, crossed with THE HALF OF IT, and a dash of BOOKSMART — from an absolutely fresh perspective.
