This is a hilarious movie, was a real treat to see. Have to recommend it to anyone that loves a good comedy or even a good laugh. Improv is always fun but it's brought to a new level here, the cast has strengths that when combined provide such a curious mixture... well you just have to see it for yourself!
It's always great to see an independent director or producer make something with real texture and feeling and this movie brings it all.
Jill is very talented and she brought in so many great characters to Creating Karma. Haven't laughed like that in years. Thanks for making it and we can't wait for the sequel! Keep shooting!

A wacky 40's style comedy with a late 60's vibe. This circular tale carries us on the journey of an uptight young exec, Karma. As she struggles with her past we watch her slowly unravel, transform and finally recreate herself only to end up where it all began. The story arc is wonderfully fresh. The performances are comically insightful and genuine. The gags are energetic and at times random. The comedy is very physical. The actors had a real workout. The "sisters" have good chemistry. New York City is as much a character as any of the actors. The movie on a tight budget reveals lots of heart and potential for future storytelling. Brava.
I really enjoyed this film. Fun comedy with some wild moments on screen. I recognized a lot of the city landmarks and thought the filmmaker was making a deeper commentary on the gentrification problem. The colors of the film are what captivated me the most. It's a very pretty film to watch. Refreshing, thoroughly engrossing and enjoyable. There are classic lines and performances in this film that are unforgettable. It's great to see a film that entertains without the usual violence and lowbrow humor one has come to expect. Intelligently written and performed. Great Escape and a breath of fresh air. This is one of those films that you will want to see again and again.
This wonderfully fabulous and crazy comedy is one hell of a good-time popcorn-movie. The style is similar to Waterboy, and other large, comic Adam Sandler movies. Jack Black and Austin Powers'- style movies come to mind. Larger than life; true Molieresque Comedia del'Arte in a movie format. This element makes it very classical and also very modern, and so much fun. There is a sense of in the moment improvisation that permeates the world of the film. The color is amazing and beautiful to the eye. The director has a wonderful visual sense in addition to her ability to cut to great music. A comedy about the 60 ties...maybe...but a comedy of human foibles of any era...definitely
This is a cute rendition of the state of Eastern philosophy, after having been melt down to a hysterical conclusion.
The characters are exceedingly plentiful with a full array of assorted weirdness's.
The music is as complex and varied as the range of emotions that are displayed at an alarming rate.
The ukulele is used as well as the sitar to great effect.
I liked the blind man in particular, and would like to see a sequel featuring him.
All in all, I have to scream out Hari Truman!
