This is How Movies Should Be Made

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Wild Honey Pie does something few movies are able to: capture the authenticity of a relationship so saliently that you feel like you are there, not missing a moment of authenticity, and still maintain a fast-paced, interesting narrative. You get to know these characters - they feel like real people - but not a moment of story is lost. Laugh out loud funny without trying too hard to be, heart wrenching and very, very real - it's a must see.
