Potato Dreams of America

By no means I am a critic of any kind, but Potato Dreams of America made me jump out of my seat.

It is entertaining and unique - maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but I loved it.

I wept and laughed, and thought that mother is a saint and that boy... oh, boy!

If I laugh or cry this much while watching a movie, it is a great one.

Beautiful people, great acting. I thought the directing was awesome, too.

Wes Hurley, if you are reading this, hug your mum for me. I would not dare to offer one to you, too, but you deserve it nonetheless.

Thank you for telling your story in such a fun way.

Jesus Christ! They are handsome.

PS: I don't like tea.

Disclaimer: I produced this film, but out of many films I've worked on over the years, this one is very close to my heart. So funny and touching-based on a true story of a dear friend.

Set designer executed beautifully without losing an American audience to the "foreigner" trap, very pro American. I could only hope a Russian on the otherside could easily visually critique the real America for Russians one day. I like the opening scene depicting child hood avoidance of moronic parents by creating false stories about making it seem better than the hell those two morons put you through because of their own illnesses and marital insecurities. I find it nuance that education was also a stone in the character's path. Usually there are places for safe havens for the outsider but in this instance it is triumphantly a new country! Beautifully executed set designs even better than the 80s papermache sets (minus Dorothy of course). Truly an expert set after set which best supports actors rather than over relying upon actors' wornout facial expressions. Thank you.

A must-see laugh and cry autobiographical journey filled with stellar performances, gorgeous production and the perfect blend of heart and humor.

I enjoyed this movie from beginning till the end. It was like an emotional rollercoaster, at times hilarious, but also very touching and emotional. The fact that this is all inspired by true events makes it even greater. I am so glad I got to see this movie!
