"...Boasting some winning one-liners and artful emotional interactions, Rowland's play teems with complex themes and ideas centering on Reagan-era entitlement and the despair of upper-middle-class mediocrity. However, the work would benefit from another draft or two to cull some sequences of aimless dialogue and to nuance the sometimes shrill characterizations. Director Julia Fletcher's character-driven production suffers from occasional pacing lapses, but Rothhaar's blustering performance as the family's Jackie Gleason-like King Baby Patriarch is a compelling, tragic turn."

"...The play also cleverly illuminates East-West cultural differences, yet the essence of Rowland's themes is more personal than political. Impeccably acted and exquisitely designed, director Julia Fletcher's rendition scores a bull's-eye."

"...This is a delightful play, sparkling with humorous dialogue and rib-tickling situations but at the same time, rife with a humanity that will, to use an applicable, old cliché, tug at your heartstrings."
