A Midwestern mix of "Clerks" and "Chuck and Buck." Bodes well for the careers of director Shaun Peterson, scenarist Connor Ratliff and principal thesps."- Dennis Harvey, Variety "A reality on Hollywood! This is Middle American existentialism at its most naturalistic, full of Star Wars figures and underarticulated desire."- Cindy Windner, Austin Chronical "FOUR STARS!" An anti-Norman Rockwell bleak comedy that some how-incredibly-manages to be as funny as it is luridly depressing."- Merle Bertrand, Film Threat "Superbly Acted….Devastating…It's low-to-no budget moviemaking at its best!"- Robert Butler, Kansas City Star "Shrewdly Funny…Sets a high standard for Contemporary Comedies!"- Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Funny, Poignant, Heartfelt, Tragic! Hits a nerve and tickles a funny bone. It's clear that director Shaun Peterson is a talent behind the camera."- Wallace Baine, Santa Cruz Sentinal "The real find here is Ian McConnel. He is masterful as Todd. It's an amazing performance!"- The Lodger Cover Art Available for Online Rental at
