Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Eisenstadt has an unerring sense of comedic rhythm and a knack of cutting away just in time to extract the drop of humor from a potentially pathetic situation. Read full review

Dave Kehr

It's the best kind of homemade movie, created with skill, modesty and a pleasing awareness of what works in an ultra-low-budget format that tends to be performance and storytelling, rather than visual expressiveness and technical polish. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

The story doesn't break any new ground, but the movie has energy. Read full review

Merle Bertrand

Eisenstadt does an excellent job bringing the story of an ambitious young woman setting out to fulfill a dream full circle. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Eisenstadt does a nice job with limited resources (shot briskly on video, the film feels like a home movie), successfully capturing the futility of struggling actors. Read full review

Scott Foundas

An unusually bright, inspired look at the perils of breaking into the acting business. Read full review

Michael Atkinson

Eisenstadt has nowhere to go with her catalogue of relaxed urban crazies, and at 79 minutes, the movie is padded out by four song interludes too many. Read full review
