Its age relatable sense of humor and often campy vibe turn The Stress is Killing Me into an amiable exploration of mid-life crisis, while also highlighting how easier the search of happiness can be with the right people having your back.

It is the kind of film that you would enjoy if you have low expectations for it, especially when you don't have much else going for you.

Rated: 5.5/10

A heartwarming and silly college comedy without the raunchy R-rated stuff.

Competently acted with good use of its single location, The Stress is Killing Me presents a fun idea, but fails to inject the comedy needed to execute it well.

Rated: 2/5

A great watch to just relieve our own stress. Lighthearted and well cast. A good story line letting us all know that sometimes we realize we are good right where we are ... perhaps with a few minor modifications. Will recommend to like friends. PS. Nice with no "R" rating, too!

Watching The Stress Is Killing Me at the Los Angeles premiere warmed my heart. The film has gathered a wonderful group of actors that have chemistry and connection on screen. It plays on the reality of being in the everyday rut of their own daily lives. Pulling from their bonds from college life and dreams they had before life reeled them in, they create a safe place to explore the possibilities of something different in a delightful way. Using props only people over 40 years old would find treasured and true to themselves they begin the awkward discovery of who they really are and how to help each other find what or who they truely love. This film promises amusement and laughter throughout!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
