| About.comJennifer MerinLeanne Pooley's delightful profile of Lynda and Jools Topp, New Zealand's top comedy duo, entertains while giving biographical background and full disclosure about their lesbian lifestyle. The performance clips are hilarious. Read full review. |
| Globe and MailStephen ColeIt's a great act that makes for a spry, likeable movie. |
