User Reviews

Great Movie for some Good Laughs!

The story was wonderfully presented on screen. The actors with their incredible experience (Robert Picardo, Hunter Gomez, and Clint James) made the piece come together beautifully. I especially enjoyed the soundtrack, very creatively done to relate a period piece to current times. A favorite scene of mine is the sun rise, this was beautifully shot. Another favorite scene is the voice over dialog with Tony Curtis and Liz Sheridan. This movie is similar to the works of Monty Python. This movie made me laugh throughout and is great for viewing with family and friends. This is a comedy with an underlying plot that is revealed at the end. Great job to the entire cast and crew of this movie. I look forward to seeing this at upcoming film festivals and wish all involved the best. Your hard work and effort truly shows in this work.
