“We should have gone to Bora Bora like the Pattersons,” says Delores (Sarah Goldberg) in Bubble & Squeak, writer-director Evan Twohy’s feature debut.

And yet, that’s what Allen Media Group did last week, announcing that it would be getting rid of trusted local weather anchors in a cost-saving move.

Billy Ray Cyrus’ disastrous performance at Donald Trump’s inauguration.The 63-year-old country star played the Liberty Ball on January 20 as part of the new president’s celebrations, where he experienced a wave of technical difficulties, with his guitar sound dropping in and out, his microphone malfunctioning and the stage lights being cut off.Many onlookers have also questioned the state that Cyrus was in during the performance, and now Firerose, who finalised her divorce with the singer last year, has spoken about her perception of the show.“What’s being seen in public now reflects much of what I experienced in private during our relationship,” Firerose told People. “It’s very sad to see those same struggles continue for him, but I’m glad the truth is coming to light – for his potential good because healing is only possible when you confront the truth and accept there’s a problem.

With “Bubble & Squeak,” writer-director Evan Twohy sets out to answer that question — and little else of relevance to contemporary audiences. Not all movies need to serve up profound insights into the human condition, but the ones that don’t should at least be entertaining, and Twohy’s particular strain of absurdism is not just contrived, but deeply unfunny.
