The Gifted Program
“You saw The Breakfast Club and Heathers. So why see Ruben Carbajal's revisitation of the war between high-school burnouts, popular people, and dorks? Because Mike Shapiro's direction crackles, Joey (Brenton Popolizio) is one sexy nerd, and the outrage of Lester Suh (Aron Yoo) at his dungeonmaster's misuse of elves will convulse anybody who has ever known a D. & D. obsessive. Carbajal's humor alternates between lacerating and indulgent, and never slackens.”

“This goodhearted, often hysterical production is far more than That '80s Show meets Revenge of the Nerds. . . . Endearing and witty.”
