Perri Nemiroff Collider Atkinson and Hellerman clearly had good intentions and the whole cast gives the material their all, but there is just no making this story work. Rated: 2/5 Mar 24, 2016 Full Review Sean L. Malin Austin Chronicle Shovel Buddies is a shallow small-town drama that strives for a dark quirkiness, but ends up burying any authenticity with tackiness. Mar 22, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
