Reviews

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "A Kid Called Mayonnaise" is a 25-minute live action short film that can be best described as a mix of family and comedy film and it succeeds from both perspectives I'd say. The director is Oscar winner Luke Matheny and the script is by Emmy nominee Will McRobb. This is another entry to the Amazon Originals series, which means that it will be turned into a weekly series if enough people end up liking it. But it has strong competition and not every entry will make it. I personally think it is weaker than Will vs. the Future, but better than Skyward and I guess I may be curious about a potential first season, but maybe it's just that I like Matheny. Really loved his Oscar-winning short film too. Back to this one here: It was a pretty creative little film and I liked the inclusion of animals (ducks, turtles, ostriches). The characters are somewhat interesting, even those that do nothing but stare or spit in a bag and it was also a good watch visually. Reminded me of Moonrise Kingdom a bit at times. But I also have some criticisms. Honestly, the material felt to me as if it would really be more suitable for a 100-minute movie, but maybe not for a recurring television series. And I thought the birthday girl was maybe slightly miscast. Then again the character really does almost nothing except being there. It's all about the boy here. As a whole, a decent little film, felt very creative at times, but maybe the wrong choice of format here if it really gets picked up.

laura-75-488721 Absolutely, adorable and refreshing!! Nothing like anything that is on TV! Exactly what kids television needs! It's a very quirky, out of the box, fresh take on a kids show but with adult humor in there as well. I laughed out loud on multiple occasions. Also beautifully shot and an amazing soundtrack!

bjames-31869 While I liked the color, LA suburb culture and photographic work, this is a bit strange for kids and way too slow. There's really not a lot going on which is why there is a lot of running in slow-mo. It's like watching paint dry. On the positive side, it kind of reminds me of the movie Paris Texas. Like the mom character, but the lead boy's character is just a little odd. Can't see it gaining a big following.

justineburt I found this show to be very cute and funny. The characters were charming and I want to know more! It's a show for the whole family, reminiscent of other family comedies but totally unique and quirky. The actors did a great job, though totally unique characters they were believable and compelling. The cinematography was really well done. I do hope they make a full season!
