Critic Reviews
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
A scrappy low-budget comedy with lots of insouciant charm.
-
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Weird? To say the least. Funny and insightful? Without a doubt. A success? That depends on what you enjoy in a movie. For me, it is.

Joe Brown, Washington Post
[An] endearingly lackadaisical, merrily aimless little movie.
-
Rita Kempley, Washington Post
An amiable spoof of independent filmmaking.
-
Alison Macor, Austin Chronicle
My Life's in Turnaround details the misguided yet strangely sincere journey of these two filmmakers as they each struggle to find their movie, a direction, and a girlfriend.
