Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Apr 29, 2020
You'll find Will Dennis' first feature enjoyable, even as you're all too aware of its narrative gears moving too heavily. Go to Full Review

1.5/4
I'm not saying the director should stick to developing apps himself. But he might have made a better movie if he'd committed to Rocky Road from the start. Go to Full Review

3.5/4
A lot better than it sounds on paper...a funny, moving, and charming independent debut. Go to Full Review
Martha K. Baker KDHX (St. Louis) May 14, 2020
