Holy crap this is one of the most entertaining documentaries I’ve ever watched. A must watch!!!! - MKE Film Festival 2022

This wonderful film follows a Pez collector who travels to Eastern Europe to buy and smuggle back contraband Pez dispensers. The entire thing is hilarious and so well made. It also tells an important story about mental health amidst all the wackiness. The star and directors did a Q&A afterwords, and we all received Pez dispensers on the way out. What a great time. You've gotta catch this, it might be the doc of the year.
