Two Scoops: Erm....okay then

[Platypuschow · 6/10 · 29 August 2018]

Ever wondered what would happen if Hollywood director Robert Rodriguez made a short film about two ice cream girls who are also secret agents? Me neither.

Regardless here we are with a 10 minute film with a Hollywood budget about the two ice cream girls who go on a mission to fight a monster responsible for a host of missing people.

It has Rodriguez's usual style and is all the better for it. It's wacky, over the top and in no universe should it be taken seriously.

For a short this looks fantastic but be aware that it's all style and very little substance.

The Good:

Looks great

A lot of fun for 10 minutes

The Bad:

The squishing sounds, really?

Not much in the way of content

Things I Learnt From This Short:

Their mom must have been really attractive!

Style yes? Substance not really.

"Two Scoops" is an 11-minute short film written and directed by Robert Rodriguez 2 years ago. Actually, this one has even 3 writers, a bit much for such a short film. Anyway, this work is the usual Robert Rodriguez: bright, colorful, absurd, over-the-top and a bit style over substance. Unfortunately, it is not close to being as good as his best achievements. We follow 2 pretty hot identical twin girls in this one, paid by actresses that have also appeared in other films by the director, such as "Machete". Here the two go against an alien enemy on the quest to find their missing dad. I personally would not recommend this. It was just too absurd for my taste and not really funny enough to make me look past that. And sadly, it did not even get me hungry for ice cream. Thumbs down.
