‘Bubble & Squeak’ Review: American Honeymooners Face Charges Of Cabbage Smuggling In Evan Twohy’s Madcap Comedy – Sundance Film Festival


‘Bubble & Squeak’ review: American honeymooners face charges of cabbage smuggling in Evan Twohy’s madcap comedy – Sundance Film Festival

A quirky, prescriptively surreal comedy in the vein of the late Jeff Baena, with a hefty debt to the two Sacha Baron Cohen Borat movies, it’s a very Sundance kind of funny that goes all in on a very bizarre premise. Funnily enough, this is why they have been summoned; when customs officer Bkofl finally arrives—Steven Yeun, speaking with a faintly Slavic accent—he informs them that they fit the description of an American couple recently seen walking through the airport with cabbages in their pants. Title: Bubble & Squeak Festival: Sundance (US Dramatic Competition) Sales agent: Obscured Pictures Director/screenwriter: Evan Twohy Cast: Himesh Patel, Sarah Goldberg, Steven Yeun, Dave Franco, Matt Berry Running time: 1 hr 37 mins
