Crooked Marquee

A cringe-worthy vanity project for Canadian stage actor/psychology professor Charly Chiarelli, this broad, sentimental comedy might have worked better as a theatrical monologue.

Rated: C-

Richard Crouse

Hammier than the local prosciutto shop but Hildebrand, who is also a cinematographer, has made an undeniably nice looking movie that could double for a Sicilian tourist bureau video.

Rated: 2/5

What She Said

It's a mixed bag, the tone is all over the place, and, again, all that shouting. Nope.

Winnipeg Free Press

Road to the Lemon Grove is a ragged, unpolished movie, scattershot in both its themes and its esthetic.

Rated: 2.5/5

Citizen Z

Unexpectedly delightful. Nice imaginative storytelling and directed mixing in Italian-style My Big Fat Greek Wedding style humor, documentary-like bits, with a very clever funny theme/homage to Spaghetti Western. Things went along to a heart warming and satisfying ending.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
