The Sundance Film Festival experience often resembles scavenging for treasure among a lot of less desirable content. "Bubble & Squeak," directed by Evan Twohy, epitomizes this sentiment as a poorly constructed comedy that attempts to satirize a fictional European land where cabbage is banned. Featuring lackluster performances from Sarah Goldberg and Himesh Patel, the film’s humor falls flat and stretches a single joke over 94 tedious minutes. Despite introducing quirky scenarios, it fails to engage, as characters navigate their absurd predicament with monotonous dialogue and awkward pacing, ultimately making for an uninspired viewing experience.
"Bubble & Squeak," written and directed by Evan Twohy, is a comedy, hold the laughs, about a fictional European nation that has banned cabbage. That, folks, is its one and only joke."
It gratingly forges on. The couple's tedious slog through woods to cross the border is a faux-eccentric, self-indulgent, beige chore that's met with silence.
