Reviews

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
