⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Review of Fizzlewomp
A quirky, funny indie comedy with a charming DIY spirit.
Fizzlewomp is a lighthearted, creative comedy that leans fully into its own eccentricity. Directed by Ray and Migdalia Etheridge—who bring decades of television experience to their work—the film follows Marion and Tommy, two online “product reviewers” who hilariously never test the items they talk about. Their questionable approach sparks a chain of comedic moments, including one standout gag involving an angry pizza man that leaves a lasting impression.
The film’s humor is playful and unpredictable, with a tone that feels reminiscent of older, off-beat sketch comedy. Several judges noted how enjoyable the concept was, praising the fun energy and the originality of the jokes. The film doesn’t take itself too seriously, and that becomes part of its charm.
While the production value shows its indie roots—with some elements feeling stylistically dated—the creativity and humor keep the project engaging. The pacing is steady, the performances fit the comedic world, and the story offers an entertaining look at internet culture, amateur reviewers, and the ridiculousness of online personalities.
At its core, Fizzlewomp is a passion project made by filmmakers who love to entertain. Ray’s long history in camerawork and editing shows in the film’s structure, and the Etheridges’ collaborative spirit gives the movie a warm, homemade quality that adds to its appeal.
This is a fun, clever little comedy with memorable bits that stick with you. It’s exactly the kind of indie film that reminds audiences how much creativity can come from a simple premise and a couple of passionate filmmakers having a good time behind the camera.
