Seducing Charlie Barker is a big so-what, but you leave wanting more Heather Gordon, who might be something in a more original movie. Go to Full Review Karen D'Souza Contra Costa Times 12/08/2011

10/08/2013 An excellent satirical take on the entertainment business with wonderful performances, including a not-to-be missed performance by Heather Gordon. A very unusual and well-made film. Highly recommended! See more 07/22/2012 A mediocre film with just enough high points to keep you watching. I recommend it as a late night Netflix film so if you fall asleep you will not feel so bad about it. See more 02/23/2012 This is a fantastic indie film, with a "don't miss" breakout performance by Heather Gordon as "Clea." With screenplay by Theresa Rebeck ("Smash"), it's packed with biting comedy, poor human behavior, and head-shaking irony. Reserve it. Rent it. Share it!
