REVIEWS - LIFE WITH FIONA

"The Estes Park Film Festival is excited to screen Life With Fiona as our opening night feature. Greg Lobb and Avery Clyde are outstanding in their leading roles, supported by a cast of some of the most talented up-and-coming actors in the industry. Producer/Editor Brendan Davis and Writer/Director Greg Lobb have created a romantic comedy that is off-beat but thoroughly believable, touching but not sappy, and most importantly: very, very funny".
— Cliff Armitage, Estes Park Film Festival co-director

"Actor-writer-director Greg Lobb's Life with Fiona does the Kevin Smith hyperliterate romantic thing - with a quarter of the smarm."
— Andrew Wright, The Stranger (Seattle)

"Life With Fiona tells the story of what happens when a regular guy actually lands a woman who is way too hot for him. Watching him as he ignores the tell-tale signs to RUN is as uncomfortable as it is hilarious throughout!"
— Kevin Gilbert, STIFF Programming Director

"Funny characters and funnier situations give this film a charm that can't help but make you laugh!"
— Henry Davidson, DancesWithFilms
