Critic Reviews

  • Brian Orndorf, BrianOrndorf.com

    Simply crashes upon takeoff, going nowhere in a hurry, sniffing around for pop culture overkill and domestic depression insight it never makes a genuine play to explore.

  • David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

    Stay Tuned is a harmless little comedy...

    It was slightly amusing, but probably not something I would watch again.
