Emma's dad is the standard for being as good of a father as you can.

[@EmiliaDarling24]

Wish my dad was this cool (my name is Emma 2 and my birthday is in May)

[@MissyPrime]

agreed

[@Nataliesolas]

I wish I’d had a dad like that lol

right? all i hear is good things about him :)

this movie is literally a visual love letter from her dad. love this so much.

this comment made me cry

10/10 Dad there, Imagine how amazing it must have been for him to get a chance to recreate the best moments he had with his daughter.

[@AryanaCorbett-ek4vk]

This comment was so beautiful, it almost made me cry 😭❤️

@@AryanaCorbett-ek4vkit made me cry

[@cuffinosanjuan]

ya her dad is so kind, I remember watching his channel back then and everytime he finished painting a landscape he always promotes her daughters channel

[@justayari]

Seriously. He seems like an incredible human. It's true that the apple doesn't fall far.

[@Melanie-xx1fc]

I’m jealous! I wish I could’ve had my memories with my kids in a movie like this. I have videos at least

[@LeahreTard]

this made me more emotinal than the trailer, the felt emotion of her father and their bond is moving through me.

[@starheartskull15]

This really showed me what a parent should be. He knew and remembered so many intricate details about her and her childhood, my parents barely remember my bday and they were there

[@momsaccount4033]

Guys, that wasn’t a trailer, that was a frigging short film. You’re awesome

[@nathaya130]

i'm pretty sure there are some clips here that weren't in the other video wasn't it?

[@LivvyL8106]

Well that is also every single other one of their movies they are so talented!❤

[@piggytoonvr]

"someone walked by with airpod max" makes you realize they are fully committed to this

[@EmersonHayes-p8c]

Fr, it just shows their sense of detail and skill as producers.

[@OMBBL131]

It was so funny when we were filming this lol!

[@starheartskull15]

It’s incredible considering so many multimillion dollar budget movies don’t even pay that much attention😂 there’s a scene in the movie “17 again” during the late 80’s, there’s a guy in a “paramore” band tee in the crowd at the basketball game 😂

[@conneryates5073]

Agreed I hate when things are off period I was watching the Marvel show Loki and they had like a 60s jag when it was set in the 1920s-30s

[@yousefghanem5108]

That story made me understand why they cared I thought it was a product placement thing but the time period makes a 10000000 times more sense ​@@starheartskull15

[@dorinhaaaaa]

emmas dad remembering and knowing every detail about her really made me cry, i wish i had that

[@jackym4652]

He was so present! 🥹

[@tink6225]

mine couldn't say the same

[@Hopespringseternal]

They are hard to come by. I cried, too, for me, for her, and wishing my kids’ dad was more emotionally connected.

same

[@dorinhaaaaa]

glad i’m not alone 🙏

[@BriaunaRenae1]

I have always found comfort within Emma and her dad. He seems like an amazing father and I’m happy for her and the relationship she has with her parents.

[@TheGabyFe]

Okay but why is no one talking about the actress that played her, killing the role

[@Chimkinspie]

Emma's Dad seems like the sweetest guy. Made me cry 😭

[@Milesistogood]

Dude perfect!!!!!!!!!!❤

[@nicthenavigator]

@@Milesistogood I agree, but there would be so much needed to do that; 5 guys, and they would need to do trickshots

I want to call him my dad too😂 ... I wish I had such a dad

[@carmeluchi1505]

the way i was immediatly crying with emma, i think it just had sucha nostalgic vibe especially seeing the videos i would watch on her channel in this

dude me toooo

Same 🥹 immediate tears

[@BANCHI5E]

Watching how the dad remember every single details about her growing up makes my heart warm

[@weronika.99.]

that made me cry, I used to watch her in her and I related to this sadness that I felt like was inside her. I hope she's happy now. bloom, girl

[@mr_cinna_man]

That was perhaps the smoothest Shopify ad built into a video that I’ve ever seen. Serious respect to Sticks for that and everything else you guys do! I’m always waiting for the next one to drop

[@HillaryNguyenDon]

This was the best reaction from a KZbinr yet. Her crying within the first 5 seconds is truly a testament to the amount of effort you guys put into these trailers. It's nice to see that your channel is growing with each new video, but I'm always shocked at the fact that you guys aren't at like 10 million subscribers already. If you guys are taking recommendations, please do Jenna Marbles. I know she's retired, but I'd still love to see it.

[@samuelswihart4285]

That'd be INSANE! She's pretty much KZbin royalty along with Fred, iiSuperwomanii, Julian, Rhett and Link, and SMOSH

[@elliamaris]

Omg yess!!! I'd also love to see a Ryan Higa movie, he's an og legend 🙏

[@anaboffin]

this needs to be a 2h long movie. it's freaking amazing.

[@CherishJohnson-Reyes]

where's the kickstarter!? I'd so donate to make this happen

[@quanicapri9850]

The part when Emma started to watch the movie is when tears started to rush out 😭 this film was perfect!!!! Huge shout out to the actress that played Emma as well!!! She hit the home run with her acting ! 🙌🏽

[@krismilko]

Seeing Emma watching the movie and crying while clutching her popcorn made me cry as well! What you guys have done is a labor of love especially when you get a heartfelt reaction like that from Emma. Well done!!!

[@willdavis2005]

Sticks has got to be the most underrated KZbin channel of all time, not to mention the great talent and personalities of the main producers.

[@anitacho9023]

Need to be mentioned on CNN/MSNBC 😂

[@stellamariefanboy.6768]

They inspire me to actually get up and do something productive lmao. I don’t have the creative juices they have but still.

[@unifpier]

absolutely!

[@silent1257]

I dont think almost 1 million subs is underrated

[@willdavis2005]

@@silent1257 A big portion of the subscribers only care about a certain KZbinr featured on the channel, a lot of people wouldn’t appreciate the work that goes into these projects without a celebrity featured.

[@hdrtl]

the attention to detail these guys have is CRAZY! Stopping the whole shot because somebody had technology that wasnt invented was SO good!!!

[@justalittledangerous]

That is very basic film making

[@hdrtl]

​@@justalittledangerous okay? doesnt change anything

Shout out to the kid, she is an amazing actress. You can see all normal kid behavior in the off scenes and she just switches on for the film

[@justaliney]

Emma's dad is literally so supportive and sweet. That father daughter bond is truly special

[@denarendall]

I wondered how on earth you got the bedroom and certain other details so perfect… did not realise you actually went to her home! You struck gold getting her dad to invite you in and give you so much insight. What you guys are doing is super cool!

[@mariac.r.1745]

I absolutely love the shot in the bathroom where the camera pans to the camera filming her like it’s a horror movie or something. This theme of the camera almost being her enemy and always watching her whilst also being the thing that brings her success and creative fulfillment is so cool. Great job guys keep up the good work, I love this channel!

Ugh I’ve been watching Emma for years and this made me bawl my eyes out. Shes come so far and she has no idea who I am but I am SO proud of her

[@melbiez]

i started watching emma from around 1k-1.5k subscribers so it feels like i’ve grown up with her. when she started crying i inevitably started sobbing. because i watched her grow from basically the beginning i can’t help but be so proud of her. this is so special

[@tombfawn]

same here, couldn't agree more. such a special project

[@melodyrangel12]

me as well, I started bawling.

[@peacetea1001]

I loved this. It was more emotional than I thought. The quiet moments no music just raw noises . Also the actress got Emma’s mannerisms down so well I didn’t even know Emma’s mannerisms but when I saw the actress I was like waittt Emma does that! 😂 its kinda crazy seeing that quick montage of Emma starting a podcast, her coffee brand, AD, the met gala and seeing Emma actually see how her career has blown up like that so drastically - like I wonder what she was thinking seeing that montage of her career - last thing, what about Emmas mom? surely she had a lot of influence in her beginnings

Y'ALL ARE GREAT FILM/MOVIE MAKERS 👏🏼

[@Still_here-e06]

Tbh, these guys are like the Phantom Theives of KZbin. They “go after” large KZbinrs (in film) and do so in a way where we cheer them on. It always makes us wonder “god, who will be next?” Many people can’t do that here and I am happy these guys did.

[@fauge7]

Except they aren't really using the KZbinrs for clout. They make super detailed accurate and inspirational docs about these KZbinrs.

[@thegamerguys1367]
