Pizza Movie Review a 2005 film starring Ethan Embry, Kylie Sparks and directed by Mark Christopher. I hate to be the bearer of a negative movie review, but I’d also hate for you to receive a Pizza that didn’t deliver.

I’m all into Independent Films, but if I were to call Pizza an “independent film”, what I’d really mean is “Leave it alone.” There is no chemistry between the two leads and no real interest in the character Cara-Ethel, played by Kylie Sparks . Her early voice-impersonation of an imaginary girlfriend is the film’s “upper crust” - and it’s over quite quickly. The script is unbaked and unfunny, the directing dismal, as if the director was either bored or rushing through, without enough funding for any second takes. I was all prepared to like the nerdy teen (ala The Breakfast Club or Napoleon Dynamite); it was all I could do to keep taking a bite of this disaster.

This Pizza is not delivered on time, is limp, and doesn’t have nearly enough “toppings”. If you feel like calling for a delivery, ask for 1988’s Mystic Pizza, which actually has some flavor!

Synopsis: Nerdy brainy girl has an imaginary friend over for her 18th birthday so that her blind mother doesn’t feel sorry for her and know that she’s alone at her own party. When her pizza delivery guy comes, he takes her with him on an equally boring adventure. I usually love to root for the underdog, but there’s always an exception. I hope that Sparks’ next film gives her something to chew on, and that none of those involved in this movie give up, but learn from their efforts. We need good independent films.
