“Fast, furious and insanely funny.” – South Florida Theater

“Delightfully fresh... One part southern-fried knee-slapper, complete with bumbling cops and one-liners reminiscent of the best of Jeff Foxworthy or the late Lewis Grizzard, paired with a slightly twisted Hallmark movie with a twang, this odd couple combination not only amuses and entertains, it works.” – Jasper Project

“Fast, furious and insanely funny... Hammers and guns are raised, bullets fly, there are some wounds – both physical and emotional – but dumb luck tends to save the day... Throughout, we are treated to the weird, wise, but always observant inner lives of teen girls.” – South Florida Theater

“Mirthful... [the] humor is woven into a deeper and occasionally touching examination of human beings struggling awkwardly to cope with difficult modern paradigms of the word ‘family.’” – Florida Theater On Stage
