"Jupiter Landing's characters are built up very well and you think you know them. Then the clever plot thickens and perception gets tangled -- you are not sure who is telling the truth or who is the villian. Many very funny moments in between the dark ones. Sexy cast of characters, believable and nicely portrayed. Very unexpected twisted ending. See if you can guess what the movie poster portrays before watching it."
-J. Price, Oxnard, California
"This is a charming little film filled with wonderful quirky characters, each with their own dark secrets, which are slowly revealed throughout the movie. It was well-written and funny, and featured some good performances - Tod Huntington is a riot as Catfish, and Naomi West and Monique Lanier were both charming in their roles as the "worldly" Nicki and the fragile Amber.
Some great scenes and interactions between the characters - one of my favorites was the garage-sale scene, which got plenty of laughs from the audience. Even the opening title sequence was creative and unique.
This film is definitely worth a look, if you have the chance to see it."

"Catfish was the best ever. Please make another movie with Catfish acting as silly as in this movie. Consider making t-shirts with Catfish's picture on both the front and back of the t-shirt. I have never laughed so much in any movie. Catfish is funny. I cannot wait until catfish has a new release so I can laugh again. Caution: I do not think this qualifies as a SPOILER but I am warning you anyway: When catfish said" where the elite eat in the bare feet" ..I sh$t in my pants! Now that funny.
I really don't think I have ever laughed so much. Catfish, thank you for your hard word and I really do wish you the best on this ground-breaking movie. Again..catfish..thank you..
PS: I hope California does not slip into the ocean!"

“JUPITER LANDING is a clever, funny film that I think people will love."
-Leslie Harlow, Executive Director of the Park City Film Music Festival
“First time feature filmmaker and local Parkite Stacy Dymalski
has crafted an insightful dark comedy with JUPITER LANDING. Tod Huntington
portrays Catfish with enough anarchist bravado to make Salt Lake City feel like the East
Village, while Monique Lanier's Amber has carefully mixed innocence with
a healthy dose of femme fatale.”
-Frank Normile, movie reviewer for The Friday Film Review and The Sundance Roundtable Review, KPCW radio Park City, KCPW radio Salt Lake City
"A rich character driven comedy with great original music and insightful humor.
For once there is an original twist, heightened by the acute different situations the
main characters are in. Tod Huntington and Bryce Wagoner stand out with great
performances."
