Produced by Hancock Pictures, “COOKIE” stars Jennifer Finnigan (“Better Together”, “Close to Home”) in the title role, as a woman forced to spend days at home, and Jonathan Silverman (“Weekend at Bernie’s”) as the husband whom she discovers is not the man she thought he was.

A haunting story of a couple escaping reality together

The film "Cookie" is a dynamic movie with a twist, proving "life can't always be sweet." When a beautiful woman nicknamed Cookie is told not to bother showing up at work, she retreats into the safety of her charming, mischievous and jobless husband Johnny. Cookie and Johnny disappear into a fun and infantile world of their own, completely void of responsibility. When a meeting of Cookie's book club is held at their house, the couple's existence is challenged by the attention Cookie receives from a handsome newcomer Patrick. Upon confronting her husband, Cookie comes to realize Johnny is not the man she thought she married.

Cookie has every cabinet and pantry in her kitchen filled with Tupperware containers of cookies of each and every flavor and kind. Enuka Okuma also stars in the film she directs, produces and writes. When her character (Rachel) goes nosing around Cookie's kitchen, it's hilarious as we have all been interested in looking through a friend's medicine cabinet or similar situation in our own life. It, however, takes a chilling turn when she peeps into the cookie jar on the countertop, and her expression says, oh no! Viewers are not privy to what she saw in the cookie jar, but realize Johnny is not as benevolent as he originally seems early on in the film. Silverman is magnificent in the role. He goes from happy-go-lucky guy next door, who masters every gesture, line of dialogue and mannerisms with ease, only to seemingly turn into the classical Norman Bates "Psycho"-type behavior.

The bedroom scene in which Cookie begs Johnny to kiss her or just hold her to no avail soon makes a lot of sense when, by the end of the short film, a very poignant scene on the California beach leaves viewers gasping for air in awe of the unforgettable and extremely unsuspecting twist. I see a lot of movies, but I haven't seen one this well acted, directed and written in years. This movie does what great filmmakers do every day in Hollywood. This film makes you wonder if what you think you know as your personal brand of reality is really that at all. Be careful what you wish for because it may change in the blink of an eye. In fact, you may end up asking yourself what is real and what is not. Okuma has an amazing and bright future as a director and writer, not to mention a superb acting ability. Finnigan is so perfect as Cookie that she makes you want to show up on her doorstep to offer her a hug; Silverman is excellent in his films and TV roles, but this one puts him in the Tom Hanks category of actors.
