Sonic Cinema gave Cookies & Cream a higher grade than the new Julia Roberts movie Duplicity. Despite the tiny budget and having virtually no crew, this is another huge statement for what this revolution in DIY filmmaking can do - it can shine a light on what Hollywood is lacking a lot of nowadays - good stories.
Brian Skutle reviews Cookies Here:
"Admittedly, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect after the first few minutes of this film. Written and directed by Princeton Holt, the first scene seems like one of those cheesy online videos you find on certain websites (if you don’t know now, you will in a few), not just in the look and feel but in the performances. Admittedly, some of that feel continues throughout the film’s 90 minutes, as so much of the dialogue sounds ADR-recorded, with even up close shots containing lines that sound more after the fact than naturally delivered on the day. There are a few times (a lot of times, in fact) when it threw me out of the movie.
But after that introduction, this movie finds its’ heart, and you know what? This is a really good story. "
