Quotes
"This was both heartwarming and funny to watch. The actors act like they really show a close personal bond with each other, and it almost seemed like a real family taking part in a real documentary. The entire setup was put well together, and the farm scenery was authentic and interesting." - Nick Wangersky, Hollywood North Magazine
