• Frankie Freako is a Christmas movie

Final Take

A lot of weird stuff going on here and it takes a while to get into the groove of the absurdity. Is this a drug induced hallucination for the main character? Is his manager at work a villain or friend? About mid way through it all starts to make sense by not making sense and was quite enjoyable. Even the “twist” payoff at the end works.

3.5/5 Fart Sodas
