REVIEWS

The dialogue packed full of wit and humor, and there are also metawriting qualities lend it a fair amount of charm. This wacky and witty story is enjoyable. The characters are distinctive. The play is well-paced and doesn't drag its heels to the finish line."

- Austin Film Festival

This crude comedy takes a unique and wily approach to the theme of appreciating your present.

The comedy is cartoonish, even screwball, the cleverness abundant, the sass smoldering, the romance endearing, and the drama devastating.

- Ricardo Soltero-Brown

Martin VanBuren III's characters are appropriately animated with hip dialogue and hormones raging.

It takes a talented playwright to make you smile and laugh and then makes your stomach twist into knots within the span of seconds. And VanBuren does just that.

- Brenton Kniess

One cannot deny that VanBuren crafts a funny comedy with chilling undertones that will absolutely stick with you long after you left the theater.
