"THIS IS THE KIND OF MOVIE THAT VIBRATES WITH THE ENERGY OF THE PEOPLE WHO MADE IT, WHOSE ENTHUSIASM RADIATES FROM THE SCREEN."

Calum Marsh | NYT Critic's Pick

"FROM THE FIRST FRAME, AS THE CHARACTERS BREAK DOWN THE SUMMER CAMP AND LAUNCH INTO THE TITLE SONG, IT WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY SEEING PEOPLE WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT ABILITIES SINGING AND DANCING IN THE FRAME. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE SCRIPT NEVER STOPS THE NARRATIVE TO EXPLAIN SOMEONE’S DISABILITY. THE CHARACTERS ARE JUST PEOPLE, WHO HAPPEN TO GET FROM A TO B WITH DIFFERENT DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT.”

Kristen Lopez

“...THIS PROFOUNDLY INCLUSIVE WORK POSITS A WORLD WHERE IT WOULD BE AS UTTERLY UNNECESSARY TO DISCUSS SOMEONE'S DIFFERENT PHYSICAL FORM OR MENTAL ABILITIES AS IT WOULD BE TO MENTION THAT SAGE IS WHITE AND TONY IS BLACK. WHY SHOULD ANYONE CARE ANYWAY SEEMS TO BE THE UNSPOKEN QUESTION, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE ALL HAVING SO MUCH FUN.”

Leslie Felperin

“BEST SUMMER EVER IS A FEEL-GOOD MUSICAL AND A BIG WIN FOR DISABILITY INCLUSION.”

David Oliver

"‘BEST SUMMER EVER’ SERVES AS TEMPLATE FOR DISABILITY REPRESENTATION IN HOLLYWOOD."

Antonio Ferme

"'BEST SUMMER EVER' GREATLY IMPRESSES WITH ITS DEFT BALANCE OF AFFECTIONATE HOMAGE AND EXUBERANT INCLUSIVITY."
