by Matthew Turner [ViewLondon]

THE ENGLISH TEACHER :

REVENGE FOR JOLLY! :

THE GREAT GATSBY :

“..a hugely elaborate, well-cast adaptation of an American classic that will provoke every possible reaction..”
by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter]

PEEPLES :

“..Tina Gordon Chism keeps the innocuous class-meets-crass jokes bubbling, and the actors are amiable, but Peeples often seems to want to turn these characters into benignly goofy role models. Maybe that's why the basic comic collision never explodes..”
by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly]
