    Really nice to see Freehold on the big screen

    I was born and raised in Freehold, New Jersey, and I was thrilled to attend the premiere of Never Among Friends and see the town of Freehold immortalized on the big screen. The acting, music, directing, and story were all fantastic and I wish everyone who worked on this independent film the best of luck in the future. I was amazed how great the production values were considering the director was only 20 years of age and that the budget was so low. The only complaint I have with the movie is that it is too damn short! At 80 minutes, I wanted more and more but ended too soon. I wonder what JMA Films and Blue Parrot Entertainment plans to do with the film. I bet we will see lots more of Never Among Friends in festivals and maybe at alternate screenings in and around the state of New Jersey. One can only hope!

    Fantastic movie - want more!

    I had the chance to see Never Among Friends at Penn State in Erie, Pennsylvania in December of 2004. I must say it was an amazing production. For the amount of money they put into the production, you can tell that everyone was deeply involved with making a great film. It is rare to see such an amazing display of talent in all areas. Sure the film was shot on BetaSP which is a professional video format not as good as film, but it was better than most of the indie films and some of the major motion pictures released nowadays. It would be nice if Jason Allentoff and his production team got some more notice for this flick.

    I must say I enjoyed every aspect of the production from the story to the acting. From the way it was shot to the way the story flowed. It was great. The music was also very enjoyable.

    I can't wait to buy a copy of this flick. Write to Hollywood and lobby for NEVER AMONG FRIENDS to get a DVD release!

    Wonderfully acted and enjoyable film

    The movie was worth the trip from Edison to Red Bank. I enjoyed every minute of the film and wish the filmmakers and cast a lot of luck in the future. The film had heart and it showed that even if you don't have a big budget, you can still make a high quality motion picture. I hope to be seeing more from these guys. Great job!

    An amazing display of talent and hard work for $7,000

    I must say that I am very impressed by the movie and how great it looked. I attended the premiere in Red Bank last month and I really did enjoy every aspect of the film. They did a great job with it and I hope to own it on DVD eventually.

    Great film! Marvelous

    I had the rare opportunity to view this film after one of the director's friend's made a copy for me. I must say, I was mighty impressed with the film. I don't understand why it hasn't hit direct to DVD yet because there are so many hundreds of bad movies out nowadays and you would think a great film like this would get some respect it deserves. I hope that some film companies are reading this... Get the movie on DVD! As far as the acting goes, all of the cast was great in the film except for that pizza guy. Talk about a bad actor! Anyways, technically speaking the film crew did a good job on such a low budget. I will see this again at the Atlantic City festival. That Kevin guy is so hot.
