The Verdict Every score you see here was written without anyone knowing what the others would say. No groupthink. No piling on. Five independent voices, revealed all at once. Read the reviews, not just the numbers — that's where the real feedback lives.

This movie looked like the crew had a lot of fun making it. I think the editing could have been tightened up a touch, but I have to admit, I had a smile on my face the whole time. I wonder how many other costumes they had in the lineup but they didn't use.

You guys had way too much fun making this. The editing was nice and tight. If it wasn't this whole project would have been a flop. Everything came together for this piece - great sound, great cinematography, great acting, great writing, great directing. You guys seriously crushed it. Don't forget what this feels like.

Film had a very strong start and some great comedy mixed in. The end felt like a PSA. Nice production aspect to this film

Interesting idea for a story. A little uneven in places but overall had a good impact. Edits were good, well balanced light and sound. Nice touch with outtakes at the end. Music complimented story, but overpowered in some segments.

I love your film. It's fun and has great style. I would say that the strongest point is you timing and character development. You've very much at the top of your class. You've got talent...now to stretch you just a touch. I'd love to see you take this idea and develop the story structure so your character grows and is changed by the time we get through the full plot. It works as is but could really have some great heart if he was changed by those he interacts with. Excellent work. Keep it up!!!

This group of filmmakers probably had a lot of fun making this film. That's something that is really important. When we were making Schindler's List it was tremendously taxing emotionally. Most of us took a break after shooting that film. This crew probably had a party after their shoot and just kept on laughing. I love how you brought the characters through the car.

This is a fun little film that had tricky timing... as all comedies do. This team did a great job of nailing that timing. I liked that you cast an adult. Too many student films try to cast young people for older roles and it almost always pulls the audience out of the experience. This is a solid project and deserves some applause.
