Konterr Brilliant and touching

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Mark M. Imagine a band much like stars Mates of State (made up of a couple in love, who get married, making music they enjoy, doing small shows), who one day trade the indie rock life for a career as the stars of a sort of bland-but-successful Wiggles/Yo Gabba Gabba/Barney TV show, touring the country to sold out live family/kid audiences. As their fame and popularity grow, their marriage self destructs. But stuck in a long term contract, the show must go on, so to speak. Or...that is at least until a cryptic wish-giver shows up, setting them on a different path. Filled with great songs, laugh out loud humor, and a bittersweet overall story, I loved this. Plus, it successfully avoids the Hollywood happy ending, the Hollywood gloomy ending, and the indie there-is-no-ending-so-lets-just-fade- out ending. Instead it manages to end in away that seems the most true to the characters and what they would want.

slambertsd A non-studio film with some great music and laughs. What more can you ask for in 90 minutes? The Richie character is just great! Josh Brener is hilarious! Mates of State wrote at least 10 original songs for the film. HOPE and SOMEONE LIKE YOU are my personal favorites! And Arian Moayed and Vanessa Ray played some really fun villains.I can't wait to get the soundtrack which is coming out in July.I really hope that people get a chance to see this little gem.I am still humming some of the tunes in my head.The Rumperbutts for sure left its mark.Make sure to check this one out! You won't regret it! SLambert San Diego, Ca
