Incoming! Girl Scouts, Boy Robots, and Telepathic Stoners
['Glenn Mcdonald']
INDY Week
Cookie Queens, the maximum-fun documentary opening August 7, spotlights four adorable Girl Scouts—each from a different background and community—as they navigate cookie-selling season and its attendant challenges.
But the movie also touches on some grown-up issues associated with the Girl Scouts’ annual entrepreneurial blitz.
Open questions concerning parenting, beauty standards, and income inequality are raised obliquely—by selection and juxtaposition—and will only register with attentive adult viewers.
Also, weird bonus trivia: Among the film’s executive producers are Harry and Meghan, the expat Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
It’s a robot boy, in other words, designed to look and act like the real thing.
