About The Pick-Up Sticks
The cameras turn off on your favorite children's TV show, and the young idols turn out to be a parent's worst nightmare. The Pick-Up Sticks follows Bethany, Mandy, Billy and Coobie. They're teen role models who teach daily lessons to kids with the help of the show's lovable leader, Roger the Rhino. But, when the veil of Hollywood is lifted, we learn the actors are actually late-20s fuckups. Don't Judge a Book by its Cover, indeed.
Directed by Jared Hillman, The Pick-Up Sticks leans on a strong ensemble — Michelle Glavan, Natalie Lander, Matthew Moy — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2016.
