The cookie really makes a “monsta” out of him!

We all know that Americans are notorious for their parody films. But lately in the 21st Century we haven’t seen anything impressive. But with the lack of parody films in British cinema, it’s safe to say we are long overdue. As far as parody-films go “Cookie Monstaz” is at the top of the food chain. 

The movie introduces fresh and creative talent about two college boys, Bill (Floyd) and Bob (Joshua). As they engage in comical warfare over the last cookie  in their

college  cafeteria. Even though a low budget film, “Cookie Monstaz” still delivers a belly full of laughs at the hands of their goofy antics.

Whilst parodying major film titles, the writers Joshua and Tina skilfully maintain their original storyline as the dominant feature of the film.

The story of the film follows Bob on an ordinary day, which is on his way to the cafeteria to “get some cookies.” While presumably oblivious to the social world, he acts as a magnetic towards the second disconnected character in the film, Bill. Who instinctively follows for the exact same “cookies?” If stupidity were a disease in this film it sure breaks out like a zombie infestation, “Shaun of the Dead.”

Henrietta is a supporting character who supposedly has a Jamaica accent. Nonetheless she sets the film in motion. When Bill and Bob look for the cookies she takes one of the two leaving the last one up for debate.

Soon enough you see the awkwardness between the two but this quickly heats into an argument. Luckily, Henrietta has a logical, civilised way to settle it: with a college fight. As the film progresses the characters parody the Rocky workout.

A weakness of the film is that the characters have no back story and aren’t three-dimensional but instead spontaneous. Because of this is becomes clear that the actors are improvising. But what it lacks in reality it makes up in performance. The actors were incredibly funny and have portrayed amazing talent without the necessary skill.
