Hey Diddle Diddle

As someone who suffered for years with chronic social anxiety disorder, I was very interested to watch this film. It was truly haunting to watch the main character's agonies and it took me right back to my own difficult past. A heartfelt film that's so emotionally affecting. Recommended.

There was a very nice build in the story. I like the production and performances were very developed. It is always interesting to see peoples take on social anxiety disorder and there was a very relatable way this story was told. Trying to impress others and always worried about others. Bravo!

I wasn't an "it" person in school, but even I can relate to not wanting to go to my reunion. Chester Jones does holds his own in the lead role and makes you feel for his character, as he's pressured to come to terms with who he's become since graduating. The movie has a nice message, feel good ending and a solid soundtrack!

Social anxiety disorder was never heard of or spoken about, let alone being the subject of a film. This is an extremely well done movie about a man who is just afraid of everything and is being peer pressured into attending his 10 year re-union. Being the "IT" guy of school, loved by everyone, he can't fathom the thought of showing up in his eyes as the biggest failure. I would def recommend this really great indie.

Hey Diddle Diddle is an indie drama about a man named Maxwell Sweetwater who is dreading his high school's upcoming ten year reunion. Max was one of the most popular kids in school, but suffers from social anxiety disorder and worries that he will be judged for his limited accomplishments in the past ten years. Chester Jones III does a remarkable job not only as the lead actor, but also as one of the film's directors and producers. I found Max's character to be very relatable. Who doesn't have some level of anxiety these days? I actually just read a news article about how anxiety levels are rising around the world and particularly in the US over the last several years. So it is quite easy to empathize with Max as he worries about his ten year reunion, something that I'm sure many of us have also done. There's interesting lessons to be taken from the film as well, specifically that everyone has flaws and that they can be overcome. I'd highly recommend Hey Diddle Diddle to anyone looking for a relatable indie drama!
