“Parody and punches fly…The combination is madcap. Pretty hysterical too.” —The New York Times.
“So much fun…comic-book action and delicious one-liners…exhilarating, nerdy-sexy, and silly-smart.” —Los Angeles Times.
“…the colorful energy of a comic book [and] the dialogue is smart, self-aware, and wickedly funny. It’s hard to imagine a better night at the theater.” —i09.
“A fun, twisted exploration of what it means when someone Hulk-smashes your heart on the ground into a million pieces…It’s goofy. It’s absurd. But it hits hard where it counts—right in the ticker.” —Village Voice.
