Magical and beautifully funny!
Brilliant and joyously weird.
Amazing film. So funny, moving, and inspiring.
I feel like the audience will form a real connection with this charming, hilarious, wonderfully weird guy.
It was so entertaining and wise. It will serve as a testament to anyone who wants to follow their dreams. I hope people get a chance to see the film all over the world. Your persistence and drive is an inspiration to all of us!
It was SO good, made me think so much about passion and following your dreams, as cliche as it sounds. It made me reflective about life.
It was hilarious, heartfelt, and anything but pathetic.
What a beautiful and special night!!! Deeply moving and fun!! What a gift to us all.
That was outstanding. It flew by. It was lean. It was fun. It was touching. It had all the elements that it needed at the right time.
I figured on fun, and was not disappointed, but the story was significantly more autobiographical and personal than I ever understood the project to be. Told with energy and beauty, it’s an unusually thoughtful and genuine act of sharing.
