"...Sad to say, despite everyone’s best efforts, DADDY ISSUES suffers from stereotyped characters and clichéd situations which are so far from reality that they seem to be on another planet. The essence of good theater lies in large part with the audience’s ability to relate to and feel for the characters. On this measure, DADDY ISSUES offers one-dimensional people who don’t seem very funny at all. In translating real-life events into drama, the author may have distanced himself a little too far from reality. DADDY ISSUES is a noble effort which may require some further tweaking."

"...The laughs come fast and furious in David Goldyn’s over-the-top but very funny ’80s-sitcom-style gay family farce Daddy Issues, now getting its West Coast Premiere on Hollywood’s Theatre Row."

"...This play by writer-director David Goldyn tries hard to be a farce, with mistaken identities and surprising revelations. But it is so full of clichés, exaggerations that come out of nowhere, and unbelievable cardboard caricatures, which don’t emerge from the characters and fail to amuse, that it just doesn’t make it."

"...Daddy Issues is a hilarious play with an 80’s flair set in Hell’s Kitchen, New York, NY. The cast is a brilliant mix of experienced and new talent that makes the audience laugh from beginning to end, a true gem in the heart of Hollywood."
