The Evolution of Andrew Andrews

This is a super-cute film, which I think any adult would enjoy, especially anyone who's ever acted or been a struggling actor. Sometimes in independent films the acting isn't great, but the performances here are all excellent, especially by leads Will Klipstine and Amy Mills, as well as the supporting characters and a few cameo performances. I love a movie that can make me laugh and cry, especially if it's at the same time, and this movie managed to do that. My favorite thing about the film is watching the relationship between the two leads unfold. Mills is captivating as a non-nonsense casting director who seems to detest grovelling actors, but who has a soft spot for the worst of them all. Klipstine is skilled at playing a character who seems too goofy to take seriously in the beginning, but then becomes impossible not to love. Not only are the performances great, but the storyline plays out well and keeps you invested throughout the whole film, with many silly and sweet moments along the way. Highly recommend this film!!

I was fortunate enough to catch an earlier screening of this charming little gem at a film festival. Undoubtedly a labor of love – since both the male and female main characters wrote, produced, directed and acted in the film as well as everything else (hey, did they make their own costumes and sets too? Probably!! The talent is obviously there!) – it is the love shining through the laughter than keeps the film moving. The humor is broadly drawn and some of the subplot probably makes more sense to those familiar with the oddities of film making in Hollywood. But even without insider knowledge, this is a funny movie. The absurd coming of age storyline of Andrew is knee-jerk hilarious and showcases the range and versatility of a gifted comedic actor willing to literally do anything to get his point across. Andrew - the little boy in a man's body - embodies all the innocence, wonderment and also all the irritating questioning of your average 4-year-old. His unlikely love interest, Olivia, grounds the film quietly and securely, delivering a luminous nuanced performance. Olivia's character connects with practically any woman who understands that love sometimes means holding the kite string of reality while her man bounces around in the air like a helium-filled balloon. In one pivotal scene, where Olivia is trying to decide whether to listen to her head or her heart, you can literally see the wheels whirring in the depths of those big expressive eyes as she contemplates …"Is this guy worth it?" Fortunately for Andrew – and for the audience – the answer is a resounding "Yes!" See this movie. You will laugh. You will gasp. You will grin. You will feel your heart flutter. You will find yourself remembering certain comedic bits long afterward. And you will certainly not regret it.

Funny, funny movie! This movie was recommended to me by a friend and I'm not really into smaller movies but this is so well written and the actors are great. Looking forward to seeing what other projects these guys are doing. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes comedies and to anyone who likes a good story. These guys have a lot of talent and I can see them coming out with other stuff just as good. I love comedies that have heart and this movie does. This movie is a breath of fresh air. When you get to know who Andrew is in the movie, you can't help but to root for him. All the co- stars are funny too. great cast.

Yeah, there's some funny scenes, but they wanted to be be so much more than they were. This is not a Hollywood movie. It's so obvious they didn't have money. I guess there's a huge difference between "Independent Films" that studios make with famous people and true Indies that the filmmakers pay for themselves.

I'll give the two main actors credit for being good actors, but nice try to the filmmakeers. There are some legit funny scenes in this movie, but I'm crediting the actors, not the filmmakers. This film looks cheap. Shout out to the main actor for holding together what little there is to hold. He has some solid moments mostly towards the end of the movie but that's why it's called "Evolution of..." so I get it. Maybe an 8th grader would relate to it more. If this thing really did win all those awards at film festivals, I don't want to see its competition. But kudos to the main guy. He's better than this.

At my first viewing of Evolution of Andrew Andrews I was not impressed. The humor of Evolution of Andrew Andrews is not really my cup of tea but the acting was absolutely superb. I followed it through several different edits at several different film festivals. I not only saw the growth in the characters but a growth in the over all story line. Following the journey of the spoiled Andrew from child like innocents to capable adult success, despite many hilarious setbacks, takes the hand of the viewer in a way that is exceptional in comparison to the normal Hollywood experience. Although obviously an Indy, the humor was richly fresh. Even the out takes are hilarious. This movie must be seen several times and each time something new about the characters comes out.
