Critic Reviews

  • Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter

    Artificiality prevents this trite mother-daughter dramedy from hitting home.

  • Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

    Badly paced, ineptly written and filled with superfluous moments, the film is further hindered by awkward performances.

  • John Anderson, Variety

    A raggedly charming indie with a strong central performance by Julia Garcia Combs amid a story set in a (literally) crazy Hollywood.

  • S. James Wegg, JWR

    Anyone who has ever lived the truth of the old adage "you can't choose your relatives" won't want to miss Angela Garcia Combs' début feature film.
