| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsA primer on keeping the pedal to the proverbial medal when your whole world seems to have lost faith in you. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheySo pretentious it stinks from the screen, "The Blue Tooth Virgin" is a stillborn experiment in screenwriting 101. |
| Movie DearestFr. Chris CarpenterRussell Brown's script can be accused of being all talk and no action, but it is intelligent, insightful and often quite funny. |

| User ReviewGerald DLoved this movie. Saw it as a Film Festival in Hollywood. The Plot and the characters are so interesting and really makes you think. Russell Brown is a great writer and Bryce Johnson is a great actor. Very likable. See it. |
